What is ISA Certification?
Our lead team members are International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Certified Arborists and hold an ISA Risk Assessment Qualification. ISA is the top certifying body for the arboriculture industry worldwide.
ISA Certification is a voluntary program that tests and certifies the achievement and knowledge of an arboriculture professional. The certification signals to the general public and other industry experts that you are a professional with knowledge of tree biology, diagnosis, safety, maintenance practices, and other related subjects.
The ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification proves that an arborist has demonstrated professional knowledge in the standardized, systematic process for assessing tree risk and providing information to tree owners in order to make informed decisions for the safety of people and property, and for tree health and longevity.
