- Those desiring CEU credits toward maintaining certification and to expand their knowledge.
The Value of an ISA Credential - ISA credentials are valued and trusted because they let consumers know that you possess a high degree of knowledge about caring for and maintaining trees. When developing an exam, a panel of subject matter experts from around the world completes a job task analysis, and then writes an exam that encompasses the defined skills. ISA credentials build expert knowledge and reflect the professional skills sought by leaders from the public and private sectors, including training, academia and government organizations.
- The course will run each day from 8am-5pm.
- Registration/Check-in begins at 7:30am each day.
- Morning snacks/beverages and lunch are provided each day.
