Arbor Patrol Tree Service; Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the different between an I.S.A. Certified Arborist and a Board Certified Master Arborist?
Both certified arborists and Board Certified Master Arborists are dedicated professionals with expertise in tree care, but there are significant differences in their qualifications and levels of expertise:
Certified Arborist:
Qualifications: To become a certified arborist, individuals must pass an exam administered by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). This exam tests them on a broad range of arboricultural principles and practices, including tree biology, tree selection and planting, pruning, tree preservation, diagnosis and treatment of tree diseases and pests, and safety procedures.
Role: Certified arborists provide a wide range of tree care services, including pruning, removal, planting, disease and pest management, and consultation. They are qualified to handle most routine tree care needs and offer competent advice to their clients.
Board Certified Master Arborist (BCMA):
Qualifications: Becoming a BCMA is a much more rigorous process, requiring candidates to meet several additional criteria beyond holding a certified arborist credential.
These include:
-At least 5 years of experience as a certified arborist in good standing with the ISA.
-Demonstrated advanced knowledge and skills through a portfolio of work examples and case studies.
-Passing a comprehensive written exam and an oral presentation before a panel of BCMAs.
Role: BCMAs represent the top tier of arboricultural professionals, possessing extensive knowledge and experience in all aspects of tree care. They are often called upon for complex situations such as diagnosing difficult tree diseases, providing expert witness testimony in legal cases, or developing innovative solutions for challenging tree preservation projects.
Key Differences:
Experience: BCMAs have significantly more experience in the field compared to certified arborists.
Expertise: BCMAs possess a deeper understanding of complex tree issues and possess advanced skills in diagnosis, treatment, and preservation.
Recognition: BCMAs hold the highest professional credential in arboriculture, signifying their mastery of the field.
