Illinois law requires every registered irrigation contractor to have at least one employee on staff that has successfully completed the initial 16-hour certification course. Each subsequent year following completion of the 16-hour initial training, a 4-hour refresher course must be completed.
ILCA will offer two options for your company to complete the 4-hour refresher course for the 2025 license renewal at the InVigorateU conference in Bloomington, IL. The conference will take place January 28-29 at the DoubleTree Hilton. You must register for the InVigorateU event to take the irrigation CEU course. Registration opens November 4, 2024.
