ISA Certified Arborists / Treeworker
How many of you have done the ISA's Certified Arborist Exam or the Treeworker exam?
What are your thoughts?

Re: ISA Certified Arborists / Treeworker
A good course, well-rounded for many aspects of our trade,
Bit disappointed in that some who pass-don't seem to carry it through to the job |

Re: ISA Certified Arborists / Treeworker
I have the study guide and I am working through it . Maybe I'll attempt the exam in the spring.

Re: ISA Certified Arborists / Treeworker
I bought the study guide, took it to the pub on a Friday and Saturday; sat the exam on Monday and passed. Watch the Tree Fertilisation section (pay it special attention)

Re: ISA Certified Arborists / Treeworker
On the subject of the ISA, anyone here booked the course on veteran tree decay management at Windsor?
Be nice to put faces to the names.

Re: ISA Certified Arborists / Treeworker
I have an ISA cert,I am a bit dissapointed that if you gain a European Tree worker certificate you can pay a fee and gain the ISA cert without sitting the exam.
