Help - ISA Arborists' Study Guide 2010 CD

[fen01]

Hi,

 

I would like to do the ISA Arb Certification exam in Oct, but can't get the CD's (I have the book but could do with CDs to fill 'dead time' in the truck). I have spoken to Jean at the ISA and they will not be getting any CDs in for a while.

 

So does anybody have a set of CDs I either buy or borrow or hire until 12 of Oct? I really don't want to fail this exam...

 

Thanks in advance.

I fill dead time with ISA podcasts(on their website). Some might be relevant.

Good idea I will try that, cheers.

If this helps - I did the exam 3 years ago and i found that all you needed was the book and lots of testing by workmates and family, i didnt read any extra information at all, just used the front index of each chapter and made sure i could explain all the terms. ie apoplast, xylem etc etc.if i didnt understand a term i read it a few times until it sunk in. i had a copy of the cds but found the american accent really really annoying.

I's agree with Matt. If you can get the content of the study guide wired, you'll be fine. I think that, although the guide's obviously a bit US-centric, it's an excellent primer to the more technical aspects of the trade. Very clear and well laid-out.

 

What's "dead time"? Can I have some?

Cheers guys. I hadn't considered the American accent - good point. Isn't dead time about 0300
