Just had a call on this and figured others could use the same information.
Here’s how to find courses with DEC credits. You go to the same place you find information on pesticide labels – NYSPAD
https://www.dec.ny.gov/nyspad/?3 – the box in the middle Exams and Courses
Put in the search terms you want and see what pops up. I had some confusion with distance learning as Zoom classes popped up under NO so play around with it until you find what you need.
Here’s what I got for category 24 under Recertification

And here is the information that I found (I added the links so you have all the information to register):
