Please Read:

Reaching the top is a step-by-step process – that’s why ArborMaster uses a graduated, systematic approach.

ArborMaster modules are designed to provide a graduated, methodical approach, building on the knowledge and skills necessary to advance to the next level. L1 Tree Climbing Methods & Work Positioning and L1 Precision Tree Felling & Chainsaw Safety Handling do not have pre-requisites other than employment working in and around trees (see Eligibility). However, our L1 Arborist Rigging and our L2 modules do have pre-requisites and field experience/skill building requirements.

Why pre-requisites before moving on to more advanced modules?

We want you to be safe and to excel!  It is our experience that in order to achieve this, a key component is to build on a firm foundation of skill, knowledge and industry best practices, through a graduated, orderly approach. Even students with many years of experience have reported learning many valuable techniques and were “humbled at how much there was still to learn”.

Why experience & skill building before moving on to more advanced modules?

If a student has little or no prior field experience and has not had the time to build on skills learned in our L1 Tree Climbing and L1 Precision Tree Felling modules, he/she may be putting themselves at risk to move on too quickly to any of our advanced modules.  If you are not equipped to learn advanced methods, you are wasting your time, your money, and your safety.
