Near the top of the article I was also bewildered by this sweeping statement.

Another load of BS, I have an M31 close approach ticket, many places offer an arborist electrical training to get closer, also the higher the voltage the further distance so this is grossly inaccurate and misleading on multiple counts. Seems to me this whole thing is so pro USA it aint funny.
Also, the certified arborist thing seems to be covered reasonably well here ... however I think more specific information is required as to what the questions are about, like rope structure, cabling, climbing, knots etc.
