Good Day,
You are receiving this email because the ISA Certification Board needs your help. The ISA Certification Board is always looking at ways to provide professional development opportunities for ISA credential holders but the Board wants to make sure we are developing programs of value to you.
In a previous survey, ISA credential holders sent a very clear message that they did not want additional certifications to confuse their customers. The survey also found that an overwhelming majority would still be interested in professional development opportunities. Over the past few years, a type of ANSI approved program has been recognized. The ISA Certification Board believes these types of programs will provide the opportunities our credential holders are looking to achieve.
ISA Certification programs are really a voluntary process where the ISA Certification Board grants a time-limited recognition and use of a credential to individuals who have demonstrated that they have met predetermined and standardized criteria for required knowledge and/or skills. To retain the credential, certificants must meet requirements for renewal.
The type of programs that the ISA Certification Board are looking to develop are called assessment-based certificate programs. These types of programs are quite common in other countries are called qualifications and they are very well organized and developed. An assessment-based Certificate(qualification) program is a program that:
a) Provides instruction and training to aid participants in acquiring specific knowledge, skills, and/or competencies associated with intended learning outcomes;
b) Evaluates participants’ accomplishment of the intended learning outcomes with a test at the end of the training period; and
c) Awards a certificate only to those participants who meet the performance, proficiency, or passing standard for the assessment(s) (hence the term, “assessment-based Certificate program&#148
.
Basically, these programs are training programs with a test on the training at the end of the program. Currently, the ISA Certification Board has a committee working on one of these types of programs for Tree Risk Inspection.
