Seminars
Most seminars are pre-approved through your local chapter. If you would
like to know if an upcoming seminar has been pre-approved for credit, you can contact your
local chapter. If you are a member of your local chapter you should get a newsletter that informs
you of upcoming seminars. You should also check the Arborist News Industry Calendar and the
ISA web site.
In-House Training
A lot of companies offer in-house training. Anything educational
pertaining to tree care gets CEUs! This includes safety meetings, training, CPR/1st aid,
chainsaw safety, etc.
College Courses
College courses are now worth 10 CEU's per credit hour. In the past, college
courses were worth 10 CEUs per course and 15 CEUs with a lab. For example, a 3-hour college
course is now worth 30 CEUs that was previously worth 10 CEUs. As always, college course work
must be an academically accredited 2-year or 4-year institution.
If there is anything not mentioned above that you feel should be worth
CEUs please send a letter with the agenda or course outline along with a post-approval form
to the ISA office. We will be happy to look it over for you. If it is granted CEUs then it
will show on your next CEU update. If it does not meet the criteria (stated below), we will
send the information back to you with a letter of explanation. CEU updates are sent twice a
year.
The criteria for approving CEUs is as follows. Anything educational pertaining
