This certification was developed for professional arborists
in order to provide the public and those in government with a means to identify
those professionals who have demonstrated, through a professionally developed
exam and education program, that they have a thorough knowledge of tree care
practices. It is also designed to be an educational program that will improve
technical competency of personnel in the tree care industry and create incentives
for these individuals to continue their professional development.
