Helping Train the Industry for More Than 40 Years

Part of what defines ACRT Arborist Training is our history of success. Our organization was founded in 1985, and training was literally built into our name as the “T” in ACRT.

Training has always been a part of our organization. It’s one of our core competencies and we place the highest value on sharing our knowledge. Our founder, Dick Abbott, was a part of the Z133 Safety Standards Committee for 15 years. He not only helped create the standard, but he continued to improve the standards as time went on.

ACRT Arborist Training is an employee-owned, independent, and customer-focused organization. Along with being a part of our name, training is also a key part of our mission to engage the best people and make them better to foster resiliency, environmental stewardship, compliance, stakeholder partnerships, and safer communities.

Thousands of workers across the country have been trained and gone on to find employment opportunities by attending our arborist training classes. With the help of our highly educated trainers with years of knowledge and experience in the industry we’re making an impact on the next generation of safety-conscious leaders.

With 30 yrs of experience in the tree care industry I was very pessimistic about how much I would gain from this training. ACRT completely changed my approach to climbing and rigging.I can't wait to apply the new techniques and confidence I've gained.
