ISA Broad Cert. Master Arborist

Has anyone taken the BCMA, I took the sample quiz and received a passing 71%. Then just for fun I looked at the application form. It seems that you have to sacrifice your first born child to take the exam.

a guy named Guy Meilleur took it and passed but for some reason... he doesnt come here any more.

Did Guy take it or just plan to take it?

 

[jimmyq]

I am pretty sure he passed it. I think it was in his signature prior to his departure. I wonder if you can search it at ISA?

 

[Stumper]

Well good for Guy.

Paul-it was in his signature but it appeared right after he mentioned his plan to take the test when it became available. I didn't remember him actuallly writing about taking the exam.

Only 20 or so people had passed the exam last time I checked, and it is taken on a computer at an approved testing center (like a Sylvan), so you get your results right away. Looks to be a tough test, with no real study guide, but rather a long list of books to read first. Full information is, of course, available from the ISA, and it looks to be an expensive test to take. I think it will require twice the number of CEUs to recertify after 3 years.
