About the In-Person Workshop
Designed to increase working tree knowledge and professional arborist skills, successful completion of the four-day "Arborist Short Course" will prepare participants for the ISA Certified Arborist exam and improve their marketability. This certification designates a level of professionalism that most arborists do not have.
Today, there is an increased awareness among homeowners and municipalities of the need for trained and knowledgeable tree care workers. The green industry has responded to this demand for trained professionals by creating certification programs, such as the Arborist Short Course. Presently, the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certifies thousands of arborists, and Nursery and Landscape Associations certify horticulturalists.
Participants can register to receive a copy of the ISA Arborist Certification Study Guide or register without a study guide if they already have one. The ISA Study Guide is required for the course. The ISA Study Guide can be included in your registration (additional fee), or you can bring the study guide with you.
Lunch will not be provided. Participants are welcome to bring their own lunch and snacks or purchase food nearby during the break. Several delis, Wawas, and grocery stores are located within a short drive of the office.
