Danny boy you should feel very fortunate for your training and comprehensive understanding. I agree with you on the level of certification however many good arborists in Australia need to take the ISA test twice which is testimony of the level of Arboriculture taught overall in America. In the field and in classrooms.

Back on topic I feel it is practitioners responsibility to take on further education and apply themselves to certification. It raises our industry levels as a whole and gives more credibility to our science. Can you imagine if there was a choice between a certified or non certified electrician or engineer. I can tell you very quickly who would go out of business..We need to have the same levels attributed to us in the public eye!

Rain and more flippin rain where is summer!!!!
