ISA Certified

[Sawbee]

Is it common for international companies to be seeking only ISA Certified arborist?

 

towards the end of the year, I would like to put myself in a position where i will be looking or already secured work elsewhere along with relocating hopefully to that chosen place.

 

would like to know what sort of obstacles I will most likely come up against.

 

Cheers Guys

In theory, the ISA CA is an interationally recognised qualifictaion, at least in those countries that have an ISA Chapter. In Europe, many countries of which do have an ISA Chapter, the Euro Tree WOrker qual is also gathering momentum I believe and there is mutual recognition between the two organisations.

 

Not sure what the score is 'down under' tho.

 

My understanding is that the NPTC qual(s) has international recognition and acceptance even though it is of UK origin.

 

Other obstacles, those nasty little 'red-backs' down under

 

ENjoy..

Unless you are going to Australia I heard they don't have a ISA chapter anymore I don't know why, seems strange if true

[Sawbee]

so no worries with just my Nptc and a bit of experience

 

lol i heard red backs aren't too much of a worry its the like of the funnel and spiders

there appears to be no Website for an Australian ISA chapter

Australia and the ISA is a long story but plenty of info available. Working down under you won't need ISA qualifications. Usually it's experience people are after along with possibly either NPTC or similar qualification and a desire for you to put your nose to the grindstone.
