ADVANCED ARBORIST RIGGING

The New England Chapter ISA is pleased to be able to offer advanced rigging. Earn 6 ISA CEUs, learn the ins and outs of arborist rigging, from risk management to compound rigging, in an indoor environment. All this for just $65 per person. This demonstration course is built for up to 80 participants and is being taught by North American Training Solutions.
