When you become an ISA Certified Arborist®, you are recognized by your peers and the public as a tree care professional who has attained a generally-accepted level of knowledge in areas such as tree biology, diagnosis, maintenance practices, safety, and other subject and practice areas within the tree care profession as identified through periodic job task analyses. Hiring an ISA Certified Arborist® provides tree owners and government decision makers the opportunity to become better informed about proper tree care and their selection of services based on the expertise represented by your credential. Achieving an ISA Certification gives you, the candidate and future credential holder, a means of formal recognition of  \nyour competence in the profession. And more, by studying for and passing the certification exam, you gain new knowledge and insights, as well as demonstrate a dedication to your own professional development and the advancement of proper tree care practices. The process of becoming certified and maintaining the designation provides an incentive to continue your arboricultural education and training. Presenting your ISA credential to potential employers and customers makes you and/ or your company more competitive in the job market. Employers gain a more qualified and reliable workforce, reduce risk, and can use the program as a resource for recruitment, training, and promotion.  \nWhich Areas of Knowledge Will the ISA Certified Arborist® Exam Cover?  \nThe certification examination is developed by a panel of industry experts representing all aspects of arboriculture. Questions are derived from a job task analysis survey filled out by arborists from around the world. Questions are continually analyzed by the ISA Certification Test Committee using the latest test statistics, and new questions are always being developed and tested for satisfactory performance. Updated examinations are created on a regular basis.  \nThe written exam content is divided into 10 areas of knowledge, and the percentage next to each area below reflects the percentage of questions associated with that area. These are subject to change when a new job task analysis is completed for the exam.  \n1. Tree Biology—11%  \n2.
