IMPORTANT NOTES:
Attendees should combine this class with the study of the ISA Certified Arborists' Study Guide (not included in course registration). The GAA has a limited number of copies available in exchange for a donation to the GAA. You can make your donation here.
Attendees are responsible for completing their own application for the exam through the ISA. This is a 2 step process which begins with an application, and once approved by the ISA you can register for the exam date and location of your choice. Exam fees are handled by ISA and are not included in registration for this course. You can find a copy of the ISA Certified Arborist Application Guide HERE. If you have any questions about the process, the GAA is happy to help!
Please be sure to read all instructions within your event confirmation email to ensure you complete the final step of registering your email via Zoom. This ensures you will receive the log in instructions/link/password ahead of the event.
Scholarships are available to tree board members and tree care workers employed by a city, county, school or university who are not already ISA Certified Arborists. Scholarships are sponsored by the Georgia Forestry Commission. Applicants must be employed within the State of Georgia. Scholarship covers the $100 cost of the course, but does not include free membership. You may apply for scholarship here. If applying for scholarship please be sure to register to hold your spot - instead of paying just choose "invoice me". Scholarship application deadline is April 10, 2023.
