Instructor Training & Certification
Every instructor attends the week long Instructor Intensive Training Camp each year, a program designed collaboratively by North American Training Solutions | Arboriculture Training in the USA and North American Training Solutions. In addition, instructors are certified through a rigorous testing program involving not only the skills discipline they are specializing in, but also as a presenter, educator and instructor. This training and testing regime has been specifically designed and facilitated by two reputable training companies for the purposes of cross-certifying instructors and maintaining an on-going review process by experts around North America.
In addition to expecting excellence in arboriculture skills to be paramount in our instructors, we also seek and attract instructors who are dynamic, socially interactive and leaders within their industries and communities. Instructors are given on-going opportunities for learning and are required to continue their learning through various training programs, within our organization, as well as through other companies.
