Arboriculture Canada training

[Paul B]

Anyone ever take courses from them? I just signed up for a one day chainsaw course, I haven't ever had any formal training on them so I figured it was a reasonable place to spend some of this year's personal education budget.

I know a couple of those guys, they're good people. You'll probably learn alot from one of their classes.

I jump on every class I hear about and show up eager and excited to learn. I wish they were offered more often cause I walk away a better climber every time.

Hell, I took an advanced climbing and crane removal class by Charlie Wagner, Luke Glines, and others and I was watching Charlie so close I damn near could have been his shadow.

I don't get the opportunity to be around climbers of his caliber very often so when I am..... it's ON!


Hope you have fun Pauly.

Not sure but wasn't the group called "Arbormasters Canada" at one time???

 

[Paul B]

Bob, yup, they changed their corporate name a year or two ago.
Greg and Branch Doc, thanks for your input.

Paul, what did the fee for that class cost?

Good Group. I have known Dwayne for many years. He was one place ahead of me both times I competed in TCC at ISA Prairie Chapter in 94 and 95. Say hello for me if you see him.

Canook. I figured you did, Mr Chipps is up your way isnt he?

Wiley, they have flat rates for the course modules:
COST for Training Programs:
1 day Module $325 plus GST 2 day Module $595 plus GST
3 day Module $850 plus GST 5 day Module $1,199 plus GST
Each day of a course i worth 8 ISA CEU's, of which I have enough already but why not more?

Bob, will do, I see Thor regularly and I see Dwayne a couple times a year at the local trade shows.
