I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Vanderhoof’s ISA Arborist prep course. If you are looking to take your ISA exam soon I highly suggest enrolling in this course. The experience gained from it makes the actual exam a cakewalk. Thank you Dr. Vanderhoof for providing this course again! It was a great learning experience.
. . .having extra study material (flash cards, external link) and another human being explaining the concepts was super helpful. I just took my exam (this was my first attempt) and passed with an 88 percent. I appreciate the extra help with the utility specialist and certified arborist exam!
The presentations and assignments kept us accountable which was great!
