    ASTI Aerial Rescue Training

    May 15th, 2025 
    EMBARC Youth Farm 1185 Rock Chapel Rd, Lithonia, GA 30058
    8:00 a.m. until 5 p.m.

    8 ISA + CTSP CEUs for in person and 2 additional CEU opportunities for online course. 

    When a tree worker is injured or incapacitated aloft, typically fellow crew members are the first to respond an emergency could develop any time, and tree care professionals must know how to react.

    TCIA’s Aerial Rescue Training Program helps you protect your workers and meet the aerial rescue training requirements mandated by ANSI Z133.1 and OSHA.



    Prepare for your Certified Tree Worker Exam with Aerial Rescue Training. Provided at a discounted rate in partnership with the TCIA's Arborist Safety Training Institute (ASTI). 

    This course includes a full-day, in person training with a qualified instructor AND a virtual self-paced instruction. Participants will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course.

    Climbers must bring own gear, wear all necessary PPE and be able to access the tree and ascend/descend without assistance.

    About the instructor:  Mandi Wilson, CTSP

    I’m based in Colorado and love to travel for training opportunities. My background as an Army Evacuation Medic fuels my passion for safety and training. 

    With a decade of experience in the tree care industry, I specialize in providing creative

    safety and skills training solutions in engaging environments. Whether it’s tree care or trauma response, I can deliver effective training.

    My credentials include ISA Certified Arborist (CA), Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ), TCIA Certified Tree Care Safety Professional (CTSP), Qualified Trainer (QT), and I’m also a licensed First Aid, CPR, and AED instructor through the American Red Cross.
