SUMMARY:ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) - Full Course
DESCRIPTION:Hotel Information: https://www.visitwaukesha.org/where-to-stay/ \nCourse Location: MRA \nN19W24350 Riverwood Dr. \nWaukesha\, WI 53188 \n www.mranet.org \n  \nCost: $650 ISA or WAA member/ $750 Non-member \nRegistration is now closed.  This class is full!If interested in attending a future TRAQ Full Course offering\, please submit the following form: CLICK HERE – TRAQ INTEREST FORM\nTo register and pay by check\, use this form. \nABOUT THE COURSE (Course Flyer) \nThe ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) program provides an opportunity for professionals in the arboriculture industry to expand their knowledge through education and training in the fundamentals of tree risk assessment. This qualification promotes the safety of people and property by providing a standardized and systematic process for assessing tree risk. \nThe results of a tree risk assessment can provide tree owners and risk managers with the information to make informed decisions to enhance tree benefits\, health\, and longevity. The Tree Risk Assessment Qualification Course is a two-day educational course followed by a 1/2 day assessment that includes both a written and field component. The course prepares the participant to take the TRAQ assessment to become ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified. It is required that you attend the course and successfully complete the assessment in order to receive the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification. 14.5 CEUs. \nHosted by: The Wisconsin Arborist Association \nInstructor: Mr. Steve LaneSteve Lane is the Lead Urban Forestry Consultant at Great Lakes Urban Forestry\, where he manages Urban Forests for over 100 public sector clients performing tree inventory\, tree risk assessments\, urban forestry management plans\, and expert witness work.  He is the Past President of the Illinois Arborist Association and on the ISA Board of Directors. \nCOURSE CONTENT \nTree Biology and Mechanics: Participants will learn how to assess wood structure\, decay\, and tree mechanics\, and evaluate their impact on likelihood of tree or tree part failure. Participants will also learn how to identify and assess defects and conditions that may affect likelihood of failure. Tree Inspection and Assessment: Participants will learn about types of targets\, assess the likelihood of a tree or tree part impacting a target\, and estimate the consequences of tree or tree part failure. Participants will also learn how to assess site factors that may influence likelihood of failure. \nData Analysis and Risk Categorization: After learning the tree and target factors that must be assessed\, participants will combine likelihood of failure\, likelihood of impact\, and consequences of failure to derive a risk rating. This rating helps the assessor communicate tree risk to clients and risk managers\, and allows comparison of risk levels between trees. \nRisk Reporting: Participants will learn skills for clearly communicating tree risk to clients\, both in written and verbal reports. Participants will also learn about the key components that should be included in a report after completing a tree risk assessment. \nTREE RISK ASSESSMENT QUALIFICATION INFORMATIONThe Tree Risk Assessment Qualification is valid for five years from the date the TRAQ exam is passed. The qualification holder is required to take the course and pass the exam every fiveyears in order to maintain the qualification. \nCOURSE ELIGIBILITYTo be able to register for the course and take the exam\, you must have earned one of thefollowing credentials:· ISA Certified Arborist® or ISA Board Certified Master Arborist® · ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified· A degree in arboriculture\, urban forestry\, traditional forestry\, or horticulture that is partof a national qualifications framework or is from a college or university.· A national certification or certificate in arboriculture (see a complete list in the TRAQhandbook)· ASCA Registered Consulting Arborist (RCA) status· Licensing or Certification from an approved state/province program (see a completelist in the TRAQ handbook)· SAF Certified Forester \nTENTATIVE AGENDADay 1: Educational Session (8:00am – 5:00pm)Course OpeningModule 1: Introduction to Tree Risk AssessmentBreakModule 2: Levels of AssessmentModule 3: Target AssessmentLunchModule 4: Site AssessmentBreakModule 5: Tree Biology and MechanicsDay 2: Educational Session (8:00am – 5:00pm)Module 6: Tree Inspection and AssessmentBreakModule 7: Data Analysis and Risk Categorization (indoors)Module 7: Field Activity (outdoors)LunchModule 8: MitigationModule 9: ReportingBreakReview and Exam InformationDay 3: Exam (8:00am – 11:30am) Written examPerformance-based exam*Schedule subject to adjustment \nIncluded in your registration: –   course registration –   exam fee –   the TRAQ renewal manual (shipped via UPS to the address you provide (No PO Boxes) –   Risk Assessment Clipboard (shipped via UPS to the address you provide (No PO Boxes) –   lunch\, beverages and snacks for the day \nTravel and lodging is on your own. \nWhat is required to bring to the class: – your government issued photo ID – your TRAQ Manual (shipped via UPS to the address you provide) – your TRAQ Workbook (shipped via UPS to the address you provide) – your hard hat and high visibility vest or shirt (required) – #2 pencils and your clipboard for taking notes and completing worksheets – rain gear\, including a large ziplock bag (just in case!) – come prepared to spend part of the day outdoors – please dress for your comfort level indoors and outdoors;     we cannot always control the room temperature to suit everyone \nSpecial Testing Accommodations Requests:If you have an accommodation request\, please complete the Special Accommodations Request Form and submit it with your application.
