Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) Renewal - Online

This is an ONLINE event with 5 ceu's
Co-Hosted by ISA Texas and Southern Chapters
The ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (ISA TRAQ) Renewal program is now available in a fully online environment. This new format for the program allows eligible ISA TRAQ credential holders to renew their credential, by successfully completing both training and examination requirements, from the convenience of their own home/location.
The ISA TRAQ credential is valid for five years. To reinstate your qualification, you must take a one-day refresher course and exam, the TRAQ Renewal Course. This course is being held as a live, online event on Thursday, December 9, 2021. You will receive a GoToWebinar link when you complete your registration.
You may complete the TRAQ Renewal Course course as early as 18 months prior to your expiration date. An extension past the expiration date will not be available. Once you have successfully passed the requirements, the new five-year qualification period will begin the day following the original expiration date rather than the date of passing the renewal course. This will allow you to take full advantage of the five-year qualification period.
Here are the requirements for the virtual version of the TRAQ Renewal:
- Ability to view GoToWebinar (check here)
- PC/Mac/Tablet with Web Cam (the instructor and facilitator must be able to see you on camera)
- PC/Mac/Tablet with Microphone
- Attend the Virtual Course
- After completing the course and your attendance is verified, you will receive a link to take the exam securely online
- Complete the performance-based test on your own and submit your results
The webinar will be 5 hours. The instructor will provide time for breaks and lunch. It will be his descetion as to timing.
When you complete the TRAQ Renewal Course, you will earn 5 CEUs for the instructional portion of the program. These CEUs can be applied to your ISA Certified Arborist® credential, including the Tree Worker credentials. For an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist®, 2 CEUs go to practice, 2 to management, and 1 to science.
The fee is set at $250 USD for ISA members and $295 USD for non-members.
