I have a few questions about the ISA certification test. I plan on taking it in Milwaukee and hitting the TCI Expo later. I've worked in the tree care industry in Madison, WI for the past 10 years. I've been a groundie, a climber, worked for Asplundh, residential companies, and now myself.
I have an outdated study guide and plan on getting a new one. Is this all that is needed? Are there test questions outside the content of this study guide? If so, what reading materials would they be found in? There's 3 pages of stuff to buy on their web site but it seems like a lot of the information is redundant and expensive. I already have Pendergrast's "The Tree Doctor", ISA's "The Tree Climber's Guide".
I was thinking I'd get:
https://secure.isa-arbor.com/store/The-Building-Blocks-of-Arboriculture-P187C30.aspx
and call it good.
I know there's a tree identification section and plan on studying the more obscure trees that I don't encounter daily. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA!!
