Anytime you can get ideas from other parts of the industry it is worth it.
These guys have traveled all over and picked things up from the world over. One of the few gripes I have heard is they do not give enough credit to those who have shown them.
The other is that they tend to guard there turf and have put down other attempts to do similar operations.
Alos keep in mind that they are just one part of a new and growing segmenyt of the industry- education. Dont become one of those who spout their name all then time, then you become an Arborclone.

Trees look larger when you go to prune them because you have failed to walk up to the tree lay your hands on it and walk all the way around it looking up into the canopy and inspecting the bole and root flair

Monkeypuzzle,
The ArborMaster course is definitely worth the money. Actually, you'll get more than your money's worth with information, techniques and equipment you can take back to work and use immediately.
In 1996, I initiated and organized the first ArborMaster course for our local chapter. Since then, we've held a number of these programs with approximately 300 of our members and members from other orginizations attending.
During these courses, I either interviewed or asked the attendees to fill out a questionaire of their likes and dislikes of the program. For the most part (98%), everyone was satisfied with what was presented and couldn't wait to participate in future courses. As you know, though, you can't please everyone. Some of those that did register their dislikes really weren't motivated to be there. Mostly, they were there on their employer's "bill" and would show up late or completely miss a session, and then expect to participate in a hands on exercise.
Please keep in mind, this is a "hands on" program. During the climbing course, you will be climbing trees. During the chain saw course, you will be using a chain saw; and during the rigging course, you will be climbing a spar, setting up a rigging system and chunking out a block of wood. When you have a number of attendees climbing trees and using chain saws, there is no room for error. Close attention must be paid at all times to avoid any and all accidents, and to participate in a hands on exercise.
These are safety and production courses, to learn new ways of making ones job safer, eiaser and more efficient. For those who are willing to learn and keep an open mind, these courses will pay for themselves, guaranteed.
Thanks,
Mike Dirksen
