INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY of ARBORICULTURE (ISA) ARBORIST CERTIFICATION PREPARATION COURSE
I became one of the first ISA Certified Arborists in Iowa in 1998. I became the second Board Certified Master Arborist (BCMA) in Iowa in 2006.
I have been teaching and improving my course preparing individuals to pass the ISA Certified Arborist exam for over 20 years. Close to 100 arborists in Iowa and Illinois are now certified after taking my course.
For $500 you attend virtual classes until you pass the exam. Start anytime, stay as long as you want, attend where you want.
PROVEN this course not only prepares you to pass the exam, but it also discusses real world applications of the concepts and techniques presented.
THOROUGH - Each week one chapter of the ISA Arborist Certification Study Guide is thoroughly discussed as a PowerPoint presentation is delivered. An exhaustive final review is conducted.
TARGETED - As a long-time test proctor, I will discuss the ins and outs of the test and many tips to help the candidate navigate it. I will focus on topics most likely to be on the test and not on those less likely to be on it.

Classes are held in-person year ‘round in Davenport, Iowa. These live classes are also attended virtually all over the country.
I am happy to bring these classes to you and your business in-person. Get ahold of me to discuss this.
Students will need their own (or to share one) Arborists' Certification Study Guide from ISA. There is a new digital version that costs less than the soft-cover guide. They are both available through ISA here.
Students will need to apply for the exam through ISA here.
The price is $500 per student for the entire course. If after the entire course a student still does not feel prepared to pass the exam, they are welcome to attend any and all additional classes for free until they feel fully prepared. Start anytime, stay as long as you want, attend where you want.

"What a privilege it is to have Scott Carlson in our neck of the woods teaching and sharing his passion for tree care! You will absolutely walk away being more prepared to share and educate your clients about quality tree care and pass your certified arborist test. Scott's classes are a WIN for arborists and the urban forest we serve. Thank you, Scott, for your hand in helping me be prepared for the test. I am proud to be a Certified Arborist!" |
“I highly recommend Scott Carlson’s I.S.A. certified arborist course to anybody involved in tree care. Aside from helping me immensely in test prep, the class has given me a wealth of knowledge that I will keep forever. Scott’s love for trees and tree care is contagious! You will not find another arborist more passionate.” |
“My name is Dustin Michelson and I am the Owner of The Tree Doctor LLC. I am proud to highly recommend Scott Carlson for Certified Arborist Training. As a former student of his, I can promise he will provide an incredible amount of support to assist you in getting certified. He has unbelievable knowledge that will not only help you become ISA certified, but will also give you lifelong arborist knowledge that will never stop benefiting you. He is as involved in the Tree Industry as anyone. Even after completing his class he will not hesitate to answer any questions you have.” |
"Scott's prep class is an absolute must! Without his knowledge and teaching ability it would have taken me forever to pass my exam. |
