Course OverviewParticipants of this two-day workshop will receive professional instruction that improves their technical competency as an arborist in the tree care industry.  As sponsors of this prepratory course, the NC Urban Forest Council, N.C.

• Create incentives for nascent arborists to continue their professional development.
• Provide the public with a means to identify tree care professionals who have demonstrated trusted competency in tree care practices, through a professionally developed education program and exam.

Whether you choose to take the ISA Certified Arborist Exam or simply attend the workshop as a refresher course, your involvement will keep your professional development on the fast track.
