The ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) is a voluntary qualification program designed to train and assess candidates in a specialized field of arboriculture. When a professional earns the ISA TRAQ credential, they should be recognized by their peers and the public as a tree care professional who has specialized knowledge in tree risk assessment. To earn the qualification, eligible candidates must complete a training course and pass both a comprehensive written assessment and a performance-based assessment. To maintain the qualification, current credential holders must retrain and retest every seven (7) years. View the programmatic changes effective November 2025.

If you hold an ISA certification, you can earn 14.5 ISA CEUs if you complete the ISA Tree Risk Assessment course. These CEUs can be applied to your ISA Certified Arborist® credential. ISA Board Certified Master Arborist® will receive 6 CEUs toward practice, 6 management, and 2.5 science.

Class size is limited to 20 individuals.
