Membership

.

If you are an eligible PAPA member and would like to request a CE report, please email certificates@papaseminars.com.

Did you know? You can get the next three years of PAPA membership for less than it costs to be a CAPCA member for just one year! 

PAPA members currently receive the following benefits:

• Tracking of your continuing education hours to simplify the DPR renewal process*
• Discounts on our Continuing Education (CE) courses
• Members receive our e-newsletter, Applicators News
• An official report of your continuing education hours mailed to you in the summer of your renewal year*
• Members receive priority registration for PAPA's CE courses 
• Members-only waitlist for CE courses

Membership benefits are changing in 2025 and pricing will no longer be tiered! Starting in 2025, membership is now $50 no matter when you make your purchase.

2025 PAPA members will receive the following benefits:

• Tracking of your PAPA CE hours — we will no longer be able to track hours earned with other CE sponsors for any license type. 
• New in 2025: We will be able to track PAPA CE hours for PCAs! We will also still be tracking PAPA CE hours for QACs and QALs.
• Discounts on our CE seminars and webinars.
• Priority registration for our CE seminars and webinars.
• Quarterly editions of our e-newsletter, Applicators News.
• An official report of your CE hours earned with PAPA mailed to you in the summer of your renewal year.

* Through the end of 2024 PAPA can only track hours for, and provide reports to, those whose highest-ranking certificate or license is a QAC or QAL. We are unable to track hours for, or provide reports to, unlicensed individuals, PCAs, Pilots, VCTs, or Private Applicators (even if they also hold a QAC or QAL). Please note that DPR is no longer accepting our official reports as a substitute for the Continuing Education Record Renewal Summary form.

All members, regardless of license type, are eligible for CE course discounts and priority registration.

PAPA does not, and cannot, submit proof of your CE hours to DPR on your behalf for your renewal, regardless of your membership status. You must complete the Continuing Education Record Renewal Summary form of the DPR packet when submitting your renewal to DPR. 

Membership Policies: Memberships must be purchased on an individual basis — we do not offer company memberships. Membership must be paid before, or at the same time as, a CE course in order to receive the membership 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. PAPA memberships are annual and cover hours tracking for eligible members from January 1st – December 31st of the respective year, regardless of the date the membership is purchased. Membership benefits are subject to change without notice.

Payment Options: You may pay online with a debit/credit card or eCheck. You must be signed in to your account before you can process a payment online. For card payments by phone, please call 831-442-3536. We no longer accept mailed checks or payments via email. We do not accept purchase orders. If ACH/EFT is your only payment option, PAPA will enroll. Please send all necessary enrollment documents to info@papaseminars.com. 

Refund & Cancellation Policy: PAPA does not offer refunds or cancellations for membership purchases.

Please note: PAPA does not, and cannot, submit your renewal packet or your CE records to DPR on your behalf, even if you are a member. You must submit your own renewal packet to DPR, along with all required fees and documentation. Eligible PAPA members can email certificates@papaseminars.com to obtain an official CE report that can be used as evidence of hours earned. 

Thank you for becoming a PAPA member! We look forward to serving you!
