September 13, 2022 @ 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm
9 Week Workshop – Tuesday evenings starting September 13 – November 1, 2022. Over the 9 weeks, we will be covering each of the domains associated with the certified arborist exam. The following week (Nov. 8th), we will be offering a certified arborist exam. The cost of the exam is separate and paid directly to ISA. Information will be forthcoming on the exam. The exam will also be available for everyone, not just class participants. So if you want to take the exam, it is best to start the application process early.
This is an IN-PERSON course. You are welcome to register for the full course. You can also choose to attend individual sessions. 2.5 CEU credits are available per session.
Leading industry subject matter experts are the instructors and this study group is tailored to the working arborist.
