Well, you could get a job for an established company but with no experience you will likely start as a groundie and it will be some time before you get to climb. Since you say you are willing to pay I would suggest Arbor Master if you are willing to do a little traveling. Even with this training I would still suggest practical experience working for a company before trying this on your own.

Penn Del ISA just had there annual school like 2 weeks ago. That is what you needed. Check with ISA and TCIA to see what they offer. You may need to travel to get it
