You need the "pesticide applicator training manual" (or core manual). That should keep you out of trouble for a while, its a thrill a minute that one.
does this look like it

I would take the arboriculture 101 class put on by the CTPA. It is offered in the fall and winter. It will go over everything that is on the CT test and your best study materials.
Yeah I am thinking about it but schedule is not really conducive with attending the class

Stihlomatic,
I took the course this spring and have the notes. I'm in Glastonbury if you want to check them out.

Save your time/gas and don't bother with the CTPA class. I took it last winter and wish I hadn't. When they tell you at the first class "you won't pass the test the first time you take it" made me wonder why I was taking the class. Call DEP up in Hartford and they will tell ya what you need and you can get study material from them. I won't tell ya how many times I took it and still don't have it. I did miss it by 2 points last time I took it 
. Going to spend this winter studying for the test in the spring.

My ex girlfriend took that class as well. she pretty much said the same thing yer saying - then threw that core manual at me. She got a 96 if I remember correctly, her first time. She was a pretty smart one though...I suppose thats why shes my ex. lol.
She did fail the tree id walk though, so I walked her thru that part and she passed that the next time, along with the oral part.

i'm skipp,ing the CTPA class.
i'm going to just study and take the test when i have time.shouldn't be that difficult.
i know a lot of guys that took it several times.
i know a few guys who have passed and shouldn't be doing tree work.this renting you license crap out should be stopped ASAP.that is just wrong.not fair to the guys trying to get the license legit.proof the state just wants your money and doesn't give a hoot about the trees.

. Well the major study material is Pirones Tree Maintenance (I have) The core manual I am ordering and then mainly ANSI crap and a Tree ID book. So now that we are all here lets plan a Ct get together. Fishercat your in charge.
when was that published like 1980?
And they recommend ANSI and not the ISA BMP's? weird.
rent out? like trading carbon credits?
Not really sure if its legal, but it seems to satisfy the competition (working under the ex's licence that is) and the DEP.
Not really relevant sinse it runs out in january due to lack of ceu's anyway.
Besides mds answers to the tree gods anyway.
But yeah, I gotta get studying.

What part of CT are you guys from?
I grew up in Brookfield though am now living in California. Looking forward to visiting some family back there over Christmas. Man, I bet it's cold!

Do NOT get ANSI standards from IHS Global--they are double what ISA charges (and who says ISA is a cash-grab outfit?)
$34 per plus $17 shipping! I can sell the ISA BMP's for $8 each; Sherrill's are $7 each, shipping extra.
