With a current PAPA membership, you will receive discounts on our CE courses and priority registration. We will also track hours for current PAPA members whose highest-ranking certificate or license is a QAC/QAL.
View and register for our Continuing Education courses. All PAPA CE courses are accredited by DPR. Webinars are worth 3 hours of DPR CE credit, and regular seminars are worth at least 7 hours.
View and register for our Test Preparation courses, designed to help you pass DPR's QAC/QAL exams. We cover Laws and Regulations, as well as categories A, B, C, and D.
Current PAPA members whose highest-ranking certificate or license is a QAC/QAL can track their hours here. We cannot track hours for those with PCA or Pilot licenses, even if they also have a QAC/QAL.
Regarding DPR's upcoming category changes:
As our Test Preparation courses have historically only covered Laws & Regs and categories A, B, C, and D, PAPA does not have plans to offer a Test Prep course or study materials for the new L (Soil Fumigation) and M (Non-Soil Fumigation) categories (the current categories L, M, N, O, and P are being eliminated as of January 1, 2024). Please visit DPR's Certification and Training Update page for information on the changes. You can also visit our News page, where we have reposted the announcements that DPR has released regarding these new categories and where you can find study materials for them. Please direct all questions regarding the new categories to licensemail@cdpr.ca.gov.
