We do not offer refunds. If you would like to transfer your registration to a different event, please email info@papaseminars.com. The following timeline applies to seminar and Conference cancellations/transfers/no-shows:

• Until 4:00 p.m. the day prior to the event: Full registration can be transferred.
• After 4:00 p.m. the day prior, through 60 days after the event: $50 will be deducted from your registration fee. The remaining funds can be applied toward a new registration. Please contact us within 60 days post-seminar/Conference.
• 61+ days after the event: If you do not contact us within 60 days of the seminar/Conference, your registration fee will be forfeited completely.

We do not offer refunds. Should you need to cancel a webinar registration, please email info@papaseminars.com by 4:00 p.m. on the day prior to your scheduled webinar to request either a transfer or an account credit in the full amount of your registration fee. Cancellations made after this time, or no-shows on the day of the webinar, are not eligible for a transfer or an account credit – the full registration fee is forfeited in these instances. Webinar attendees are considered no-shows if they are not signed into the webinar by 9:30 a.m. No refunds or transfers will be issued to attendees who fail to meet the requirements to earn credit detailed in our Webinar FAQ.

All of the courses listed on this page will provide continuing education (CE) hours approved by California's Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) and are not intended to assist in preparing for DPR's exams. If you plan on taking a DPR exam and are interested in registering for a QAC/QAL test preparation course, please see our Test Prep page.

Please do not register for a CE course and a Test Prep course that are both occurring on the same day. You will not be able to attend both, and likely only need to take one or the other. If you need continuing education to maintain an existing certificate/license, a CE Course is the correct choice. If you plan on taking the DPR QAC/QAL exam, the Test Prep alone will suffice.

Click on “Agenda” next to a course to see the course's DPR approval status, breakdown of laws/other hours, date, time, location, and outline. Agendas will state that DPR hours are either Requested or Approved. Requested means that we do not yet have final DPR approval of the breakdown of laws/other hours. We update agendas as soon as DPR approval is received. Agendas are subject to change and this page is updated regularly to reflect the most current information available. If you need an agenda that is no longer posted, please email us.

All of the courses listed on this page will provide continuing education (CE) hours approved by California's Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR).

• In-Person Seminars: Minimum of 7.0 DPR hours, each. 
• Zoom Webinars: 3.0 – 3.5 DPR hours, each. 
• Multi-Day Conferences & Outdoor Sessions: 16.0+ DPR hours combined, per Conference.

In addition to DPR approval, our CE courses may have hours approved by the following organizations: ISA, GCSAA, CCA, or Vector/MVCAC. If additional accreditation is available, it will be noted on the event's agenda. If additional accreditation is not noted on the agenda, the event may only provide DPR CE hours. We no longer apply for Structural hours for our CE courses. To find courses that are approved for Structural hours, please click here.

To qualify for the member rate for CE course registrations, you must be a member for the same year that the course is being held in. (For example, a 2023 membership will not provide a membership discount for a 2024 course.) Membership must be paid before, or at the same time as, a CE course in order to receive member discount on the CE course. Discounts are then applied to the rest of the CE courses purchased for that calendar year. Discounts cannot be applied retroactively. Not a member yet? Sign up here!

Seminar and webinar registrations are open to current members only until 30 days prior to the event date. Registration opens to non-members 30 days prior to the event date. You must be a 2024 member to register for a 2024 seminar/webinar more than 30 days in advance. Multi-Day Conference registration is always open to members and non-members – the 30-day rule does not apply to our Conferences.
