Important Note: Terms of Validity and Renewal

The ISA TRAQ credential is valid for five years. To reinstate your qualification after each five-year period, you must retrain and retest. The ISA TRAQ Renewal program includes five hours of instruction and two examinations (written and performance-based). A reminder will be sent within an 18-month window prior to your expiration date, so be sure to notify ISA promptly if your contact information changes.

You may complete the TRAQ Renewal Course or full 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.

The Tree Risk Assessment Qualification Renewal Course is a one-day refresher, with five hours of instruction, and three hours to take the exam.

This Renewal Course will cover the following:

Tree Biology and Mechanics: Participants will learn how to assess wood structure, decay, and tree mechanics, and evaluate their impact on likelihood of tree or tree part failure. Participants will also learn how to identify and assess defects and conditions that may affect likelihood of failure.

Tree Inspection and Assessment: Participants will learn about types of targets, assess the likelihood of a tree or tree part impacting a target, and estimate the consequences of tree or tree part failure. Participants will also learn how to assess site factors that may influence likelihood of failure.

Data Analysis and Risk Categorization: After learning the tree and target factors that must be assessed, participants will combine likelihood of failure, likelihood of impact, and consequences of failure to derive a risk rating. This rating helps the assessor communicate tree risk to clients and risk managers and allows comparison of risk levels between trees.

Risk Reporting: Participants will learn skills for clearly communicating tree risk to clients, both in written and verbal reports. Participants will also learn about the key components that should be included in a report after completing a tree risk assessment.

Participants should bring:

• A government-issued photo identification card, such as a driver’s license, passport, or military ID
• Please bring your Tree Risk Assessment Manual
• Hard hat
• High visibility vest, coat, or other hi-vis attire
• Appropriate attire and footwear for both indoor and outdoor activities
• Please bring your Clipboard to the course
• Writing utensil(s), including at least one #2 pencil
