No, Consultants get an AA tie, usefull for garroting the competition...

 

Survival of the fittest!

 

If the ISA will only arm their guys with stickers and sew on badges they'll get muellered by ties every time...

I have just sat the ISA CErtified Arborist test in December in New Jersey. I got 92% which i was very pleased with. I found the test very challenging, but studied extremely hard for the test, putting in many hours of reading. Some of the questions still were tricky. As for the CEU's, i don't think 30 over 3 years is many at all. I have got 9 already and i only got certified in Dec. And i am going to the Penn-Del Shadetree symposium next mon and tues in Lancaster, PA where i can get another 11 i think. And if ur an ISA member you get a quiz every month in Arborist News worth 1 CEU, and you can even do em on line! Over here in the USA the ISA certification is highly recognised as the industy standard for tree work. I wish it was more recognised in the UK. Maybe it will be in the future! What i find rediculous is how in Pennsylvania to do tree work you do not need to have any certificates or be licenced or anything! Anyone can do tree work - no NPTC's - no anything! No loler examinations on equipment, no chainsaw boots or chainsaw trousers either! Not as strict as UK. not sure if all theStates are the same!?!?!
