About: The ISA Certified Tree Climber program is designed for those who frequently climb trees as part of their work in the tree care industry.  

This Spanish language academy is designed to help current tree climbers meet the qualifications and gain further understanding about technical tree climbing in order to take and pass the ISA Certified Tree Climber Specialist exam.  Each course is designed to meet one of the qualification needs. The last course of the academy is an exam day where current ISA tree climber examiners will assess testers following the ISA practicum guidelines.   

In this course, you'll learn about the most common knots in the industry, the types of ropes and ties used in arboriculture, equipment maintenance, and the basics of rigging, focusing on proper techniques, best practices, and safety.
