Arboriculture Training

At West Coast Arborists, Inc. we pride ourselves on professional knowledge within our industry. We have over one hundred thirty International Society of Arboriculture certified personnel. We offer several training programs to ensure continuing education of our staff. Our full time Safety Trainer, Mr. Rene Portillo, is also a Certified Arborist. He brings several years experience to his position and is an integral part of our training program. He administers ISA certification training (arborist and treeworker), in-house crew leader training, and bi-weekly foreman�s meeting training.

This training session has been pivotal in the success of our arboricultural training. We believe if our crew performs these six steps then they have been successful in proper pruning. These guidelines incorporate ANSI A300, Western Chapter International Society of Arboriculture, and specifications set forth by the City. The stations are as follows:

We hold monthly Foreman�s meetings to communicate important company information as well as educate the Foremen on consistent safety procedures in the following areas:
