Travelling on an Australian Cert III

[tittybong]

hey all, I’m looking at doing some travelling in the next couple years and just wondering if anyone on here from Australia has had luck getting work overseas with a Cert 3 or would recommend obtaining the Diploma of Arboriculture beforehand?
Looking to mainly travel the States and Europe but possibly japan also

There’s no national training requirement in the US. I’m not familiar with cert 3 buts it’s probably better than what I knew when I started in the industry.

So I'm a Canadian climbing arborist, currently living and working in Australia ..
The Cert III / IV definitely has value in Australia but is basically unknown / disregarded in the rest of the world. Unless you're going for a civil authority / consulting position no one else will care whether or not you have it. Can you climb well? Safely? Productively? That's all that really matters to most companies

If you care about having relevant / helpful certs in North america, look at the ISA Certified Arborist, Tree Care Worker, or in canada specifically the ITA Climbing Arborist.

A first aid ticket / heavy truck license will be way more beneficial IMO.
