Such a thing as Arborist/Tree Cutting school?

[EchoShindaiwaMakitaDolmar]

Like the title says- is there such a thing as a school, "camp", or training opportunity, to learn the fundamentals of tree work? TYIA

 

[EchoShindaiwaMakitaDolmar]

Or perhaps a certificate type program at a technical college?

Heck, at least a few of you have the skills AND teaching ability to develop and offer such tree work curriculum!

I know that a local community college in my area has apprenticeship classes. I think they take a year or two to complete and the intention is that you work while taking classes.

I would recommend looking at your local community college's web site to see if they offer anything similar.

I took the ACRT course back in 1998. It was a great overall course covering climbing, pruning, safety, gear and more. Instructor was top notch.

I have no experience with Strider Trees, but I've learned a fair amount from his videos. I think he provides courses as well.

The state of WI has an apprenticeship program for arborists. Also, several of the regional technical colleges in WI have arboriculture programs. You could check to see if FL has any such programs. Otherwise there are 4 year degree options in forestry down there.

You can start by self studying.

Buy the I.S.A. Certified Arborist Study Guide and learn it cover to cover.

It is just the beginning, but a good start.
