Default Arborism Schools?

Im a Canadian, and I am interested in taking some schooling for arboriculture. Besides olds college are there any other schools that offer arboriculture courses in Canada, or anywhere else in the world for that matter. Thanks

There are several schools in Canada - whereabouts are you - Canada is a bit vague.

Is there a really good Aussie course that I could do on line?

Well considering the amount of hands on practical classes we do i doubt an online course would be a great advantage to you.
It is one day a week so if you were really serious about it you could find out about getting a government hand out to pay for travel over here to study if there is no course in adelaide. Its a hell of a trip but if you could do a flight then it would be worth it. If you are an apprentice speak to centrelink about your options.

Not that I am aware of and there's a practical assessment of skills.

Check out: Arboriculture Canada Training and Education Courses

Arbormaster is an excellent organization and I would recommend you invest in yourself by attending some of their courses. It likely will save your life or prevent serious injury.
