They are also having the certified tree worker exam there, as well as the utility one. but if you've studied for the ca test then go for it, I'd say. if that one looks like too much to start off with, get the worker one under your belt first.
Warning: the cert test is not simple. I thought I studied, and KNEW I was confident, but I flunked the cabling domain and had to retake--PITA!
ISA will check your experience credential, but imo your test score is a lot more important than your age.

with a working age of 16 you would only have 2 years experience. I believe the true age to work with a tree service is 18, so how do you qualify?
working age? true age? what the heck do those mean, Husky? Was the tree work I did before I was 18 false?
Documentable experience at any age is what counts, as I understand the requirements.
lumberjack, if you haven't seen a climbing championship you are missing something. comb the archives if you want to hear more about it. Costs nothing to spectate, I believe.
