ASCA members are encouraged to attend the Consulting Academy where they undergo the most comprehensive training experience offered to arborists who consult. The Consulting Academy includes hands-on workshops and lectures on all aspects of consulting arboriculture. Adding to the overall experience is the benefit of networking with fellow Consulting Arborists as you share an intensive three-day conference.

The Consulting Academy offers workshops and courses in:

• Technical Writing and Report Preparation
  
• Consulting Ethics and Standards of Professional Practice
  
• The Consultant's Role in Mediation, Arbitration and Litigation
  
• Oral Communications
• Forensics

In addition, handouts and discussions on practice management will be incorporated in the above topics.

Who Should Attend:

• Arborists who consult
  
• Arborists who would like to learn more about the profession of arboricultural consulting
  
• Others interested in the scope and services of arboricultural consulting

Graduation from the Consulting Academy is just one of the requirements for becoming an ASCA Registered Consulting Arborist (RCA).
