General Questions

Why should I take Arboriculture 101?

There are several reasons:

  • Arboriculture 101 is the original ISA Certified Arborist® prep course in the state of Texas (begun in 2005) and has been proven to increase exam passing rates.
  • Dr. Watson was an Assistant Professor, Senior Lecturer, and Adjunct Professor at Texas A&M University, where he conducted research on trees and authored and co-authored several articles in research journals and professional publications dealing with a wide array of arboriculture topics.  He also taught arboriculture and urban forestry classes at Texas A&M for over 20 years. 
  • In addition to  his academic career, Dr. Watson has worked in the public and private sectors in tree and landscape consulting and management for over 40 years.
  • For existing credential holders, this course earns 32 CEUs from ISA, as well as credits from TDA, TCIA, and TNLA, and we submit them for you.
  • You will be well entertained and well fed.
