  ¿Qué es la ACTC Preparación para el examen de Arbolista Certificado, 2 días en Español?

  El Curso ACTC Preparación para el examen de Arbolista Certificadoes un programa de dos días diseñado para preparar a los estudiantes para tomar el examen de Arbolista Certificado de la ISA. También es una excelente introducción al campo de la arboricultura, así como una gran reseña para los profesionales de la industria. El curso está abierto a todos los estudiantes.

  ¿Qué voy a aprender?

  Las clases cubren los temas de examen más ponderados en la Guía de Estudio de Certificación de Arboristas de la ISA.

  Día 1 (5 de noviembre):

  • Conceptos básicos de poda y biología de árboles: los árboles paisajísticos requieren un mayor nivel de cuidado para mantener su integridad estructural y estética. La poda debe hacerse con una comprensión de la biología de los árboles. Una poda inadecuada puede crear daños duraderos o incluso acortar la vida del árbol. 
  • Manejo del suelo - ¿Qué es el suelo y cómo funciona para los árboles? La razón por la que los árboles están vivos, qué son los nutrientes, cómo el suelo almacena el agua y los nutrientes. Cómo funcionan las enmiendas en el suelo. 
  • Diagnóstico y tratamiento: cómo discernir y evaluar la anormalidad en la apariencia de un árbol comienza con un examen cuidadoso del problema. La identificación de los síntomas específicos del daño y la comprensión de sus causas, permite diagnosticar adecuadamente el problema y seleccionar un tratamiento adecuado.

  Día 2 (6 de noviembre):

  • Revisa los temas del Día 1- Poda, manejo del suelo, diagnóstico y tratamiento.
  • Gestión de riesgos de los árboles: comprender y abordar los riesgos asociados con los árboles hace que la propiedad sea más segura y prolonga la vida útil del árbol. Analizaremos qué crea el riesgo y las formas de abordar los riesgos asociados con los árboles.   
  • Prácticas de trabajo seguras: requisitos de seguridad y normas ANSII, peligros comunes como caerse de árboles, ser golpeado por árboles o ramas que caen, lesiones por motosierras, astilladoras de madera y líneas eléctricas energizadas. Cómo identificar los riesgos de seguridad y planificar prácticas de trabajo seguras.
