Arboriculture 101 Course
Get ready to take the Certified Arborist Exam or just
brush up on your tree skills. Arboriculture 101 is a
four-day short course designed to provide practitioners
with an in-depth knowledge of how to care for urban
trees. Dr. Todd Watson, an ISA Board-Certified Master
Arborist integrates research and practical experience in
his teaching style. The course is built around the 12
domains of the Certified Arborist Exam. Former students
say the “quality of teaching was excellent” and the
course was “very informative” and appreciated the
“attention to real world issues”. Attendees routinely
score significantly higher than the national average on
the Certified Arborist Exam.
