Basically like the online seminars you read through 5 minutes of stuff, answer a few multi-choice questions, and bingo .... in no time, you're a certifed expert.

If you answer a question incorrectly, no big deal, the program pedals back that section and you start again, so eventually no matter what everybody is deemed competent. Then with the elevated status of the dumbed down cert even the gutter cleaner, chimney sweep and the window washer will be an "arborist."
