Employing highly skilled and competent trainers in your organization can be difficult. Being a trainer can be one of the most exciting and fulfilling occupations on the planet. However, if trainers are missing some critical knowledge and skills, it can be a major struggle and create a high stress environment on your team.

The secret to success is to learn from the masters in the arena of training in the field of arboriculture –people who educate and train in hands-on skills areas repeatedly around North America. At Arboriculture Canada, we believe that there are certain organizations that may require high level training of their key trainers in order for them to meet their human resources and budgetary goals. This program is available to organizations that require this specialized training for a small group of their own in-house trainers.

This Train the Trainer Qualification program will increase your confidence in the training arena by a thousand-fold. You’ll be shocked at what your trainers can achieve in your organizations once they have been properly educated in the intricacies of this field.
