 Re: HELP!! - Wikipedia Definition of "Arborist"
Here if you call yourself an arborist you better be qualified or you'd be imposing as one.
Cant really call yourself anything till you got the cert in my book. Can you call yourself other trade titles without the quals just coz you been doing the job? Hmmm, gets tricky. I know I read somewhere in a case where the tree guy claimed to be an arborist and the judge got pissed off with him coz it was exposed he was not and tried to make out he was ... was a topping job he got busted on or something.
Wiki is there to help the consumer know what types of arborists there are in various countries to.
Here if you are not qualified then you are a tree lopper. And tree loppers who try to pass themselves off as arborists would soon be in for bad news. I also heard around the traps here that you have to be Level3 to call yourself an arborist here.
So USA guys, what arborist certs do you have over there?
ISA Certified Arborist
ISA Certified Tree Worker
ISA Certified Utility Arborist
ISA BCMA
We also need to know what each one of those studies or what their "modules" are.
That will help consumers decide what sort of arborist to seek out. Like will the ISA Tree Worker know the same about tree care as the Certified Arborist.
You guys need to get very specific. |
