Crop Protection Network offers IPM category CCA continuing education credits year round

The Crop Protection Network is pleased to announce CCAs will now have the opportunity to obtain CEUs under the IPM category through the Crop Protection Network in the form of educational quizzes. A total of 19 quizzes are currently available and are each based on Crop Protection Network publications covering areas such as diseases and management, pest resistance and mycotoxins.

After reading Crop Protection Network publications, CCAs can take the corresponding quiz for 0.5 CEUs simply by entering their names and CCA number and starting the exam. Participants must earn a passing score of 70% or more on a quiz to qualify for credits. Results will be sent monthly to the American Society for Agronomy for processing, and participants will be presented with a certificate for their records.

Participants can take these quizzes at no cost, either through a dedicated webpage or as a link with corresponding publications. Each quiz was written and reviewed by CCAs and Extension specialists for difficulty and accuracy.
