ISA arborist certification.

[colwoodlandcare]

I've been in the industry for 7 years now, always ran my own company but we occasionally sub for a friends firm. Never done college from Arb, done my ntpc's.

I'm dyslexic and struggled a lot when I was at college doing horticulture.

I brought the book last week as I indeed to get some arb theory behind me. It's amazing how quickly it is going in, I find most of the information I already know just didn't know some of the names for it.

Planning on spending 1 week on each chapter. Fingers crossed I pass at the end.

I believe so. I know someone who is certified at the moment by the ISA.

 

 

ISA members can register for ISA membership and certification via the ISA website or by calling or emailing the ISA Headquarters office in Champaign, IL, USA.

 

As a member of ISA or as an ISA credential holder, I’m sure you may have questions about what this means for you. ISA will continue to provide the following programs and services to ISA members, ISA credential holders, and arborists who reside in UKI.

 

-ISA members from UKI will still be eligible to fully participate on ISA committees.

-ISA members in UKI will continue to receive ISA membership benefits including Arborist News, Arboriculture and Urban Forestry, ISA Today and online access to the ISA members-only portion of the ISA website.

-All ISA credential holders will continue to be serviced by the ISA headquarters office. Certification exams, other than those already scheduled, will need to be offered temporarily in UKI exclusively as computer-based tests until an alternative solution has been identified.

-CEUs will be recorded for ISA credential holders when submitted to ISA Headquarters. ISA will provide an email address and FAX number for members to directly submit their earned CEUs to the ISA office.

-ISA will continue to allow UKI to provide CEU opportunities for ISA Certified Arborist in the UKI pursuant to ISA Certification Board policies.

-ISA will directly bill and accept payment for ISA member dues and credential fees.

I have just re certified but I didn't think any where we're running the exam in the UK.

Hmm interesting. My friend who's also a local TO is being put on the Masters by the council.

I'm sure this has probable been answer else where but is there any other exams that you can study at home at your own pace then take either the hole exam at once or modules?

Like many others some times I don't have time to sit down a start leaning by the time I've got back done the paper work and head to bed.

Plenty of online courses but they take commitment to complete. I'm doing the TRAQ course in Sept for 3 days,no matter what you do you have to set aside time.

[colwoodlandcare]

Do they do step by step exams as you progress through the course?
