As I sit here & read posts pertaining to Certified/Non-certified It has actually prompted me to open up & gloss through the Arborists Certification Study Guide. Why is that you ask? surprised LXT even has such? Im reading this book to try to find out where some of you are coming from!!
As I gloss through the book I must actually thank some of you as it has refreshed my memory in some aspects I may have forgotten or just dont use that often.
Special Note:
I do notice something of interest though, a chapter I dont give much attention to......chapter 15 MMmmm Im wondering why would climbing & working in trees have a chapter in an arborist study guide? along with sample test questions? I mean whats its purpose? according to some of you these skills are a by-product & not really necessary, a means to an end as one posted!! The truth is gentleman you are suppose to climb & have intimate knowledge in that ability!! you can argue the non-climbing aspects all you want.
Like a good spaghetti sauce, Its in there!!
Again the CA designation has been simplified to a point I bet a 14-15yr old
kid could pass it!! without a skills test plain and simply put, this certification borders on being a joke!! Chapter 15 isnt in there for nothing!!
