Testimonials

“Just completed the course with little tree climbing ability. Instructors did a great job teaching all students the proper techniques and worked with each individual to make sure they felt comfortable. Great job ACRT!”

“These four days of intensive training, the bulk of which consisted of hands-on field work, was no small event. For their expertise and assistance, we brought in ACRT, Inc., a partner that we’ve worked with since 2006. That year, ACRT led our Line Clearance Certification, and we’ve worked closely with the company since. We know ACRT, and they know us. Their organization provided critical assistance when we developed more formality around our safety program at that pivotal point in our growth. We knew we could trust ACRT, and they were happy to help.”

“Just finished the Basic Arborist course at ACRT. Awesome instructors. Keith and Kevin answered all questions and took time to explain anything we needed. Good focus on safety. I learned knots, climbing techniques, lots of good information and support.”

“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.”

“Incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and caring group of professionals. They are detail oriented and genuinely care about safety of their students and staff. It shines through in their detailed, fun and educational courses. Thanks again, ACRT, for a great week.”

Having worked as a certified arborist for more than 30 years and serving as the director of operations for a large condominium community in Western Connecticut, I often faced significant difficulty attracting experienced tree climbers and professional arborists to join our staff. With responsibility for 1,000 acres of property and a staff of over 70 employees, my constant focus was on identifying ways to promote from within the organization. 

Being very involved in the arboriculture industry and sharing my struggles with my colleagues of attracting qualified tree climbers to our staff, I decided to use ACRT Arborist Training to train one employee who showed interest in becoming a tree climber and a member of our in-house tree crew.  

I decided to see how ACRT Arborist Training’s tree climbing training courses could benefit our team. So, we sent our employee to their training facility in Ohio for the 5-day Basic Arborist course. 

Wow! That was all I could say when he returned. It was like the ACRT Arborist Training staff transformed this employee in five short days into a seasoned tree climber. The knowledge, techniques, and skill level that ACRT and its team of experienced professional trainers returned to us was invaluable

After that first employee, we sent several more employees through the years to ACRT for the basic arborist training course. ACRT never disappointed us. Each time they sent us back an amazing tree climber with the training, knowledge, and skills to handle the workload of a very busy tree crew. I would recommend ACRT to any company looking to train their employees in tree climbing. It truly is worth the effort and cost.
