UK arborist looking for info about working in canada

[Gallagher666]

Hello, Im an arborist in the UK.

Im am planning on moving to Canada in the next couple years either temporary or permanently.

But I was wondering how arborists are certificated in Canada, In the UK we have the National Proficiency Test Council.

for example

NPTC CS30 Chainsaw Maintenance and cross cutting
NPTC CS38 Tree climbing and aerial rescue
NPTC CS39 Chainsaw use from a rope and harness

There are many others for tasks such as pruning, sectional felling and cutting from work platform.

I guess my main question is if my certificates are valid or recognized in Canada?

And how are you normally employed, whether it be by a company or a self employed individual?

Cheers Matt

Hi Matt,

I did a few years out in Canada,Mostly they all are ISA Cert Arborists.
Here in NZ we study full time for two years to get an Cert in Arboriculture but most companies i interviewed with only cared if i was ISA certified,Seemed crazy at the time as my qualification was a lot higher.
