Iraq War Veteran trying to use remaing GI Bill after BA in English

[Guillermo Guzman]

Hello All,
I have worked most blue collared jobs, and I have a BA in English/Environmental Science. I was lucky to spend years in the Arctic of Greenland as an expedition leader, and got to see a lot of mind blowing ecology. Currently I work for a city that requires an Arborist certification for promotion. I am currently a Crew Leader with experience of years of storm debris clearing, and chainsaw/polesaw work on the ground. They then throw the arborist book at me, and say pay $500 to take the test. Is there any college/workshop event, or weekend intensive courses out there that I can utilize my remaining GI Bill to obtain the Arborist Certification? Thanks.

If you contact your local ISA chapter, they may have a test prep course going on somewhere within driving distance. In fact, if you go to the ISA website, on the left is menu. Click Events>Event Calender and filter for the test prep courses and see if one is going on anywhere near you. Not sure what kind of test taker you are, but I did it with just the book, a little googling here and there. Not sure how the GI bill might play into all this.
