ANSI A300 Standards
ANSI A300 standards are the generally accepted industry standards for tree care practices.
They are voluntary industry consensus standards developed by TCIA and written by a committee called the Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) A300, whose mission is to develop consensus performance standards based on current research and sound practice for writing specifications to manage trees, shrubs, and other woody plants.
Arborist Apprenticeship Program
So your company wants to start an ARBORIST APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM?!
There are two options to introduce a new apprentice/trainee to the tree care industry.
To help you determine which option is best for your current business and company culture check out the following steps for each option outlined below.
Accreditation Residential / Commercial / Utility
Set your business apart from your competitors. Accreditation helps consumers identify qualified tree care companies who conduct business safely, legally, and ethically. Designed to help tree care companies improve themselves and become models of professionalism, the program also gives companies already doing everything right a third-party credential to prove it.

TCIA’s workforce development seeks to unite employers and job seekers by providing employers with recruitment tools and job seekers with an industry career center.
