Description

2026 Beginning Climbing Arborist Training

This class will be held June 18–19 at the Elmwood Park Pavilion in Omaha, NE.

This training is open to both NAA Certified and Non-Certified participants who are ready to develop their climbing abilities further. Please note: climbing is a required component of this course.

Course Learning Objectives:

This intermediate-level class is designed for both NAA Certified and Non-Certified participants with foundational arborist knowledge who are ready to further develop their climbing skills through guided, hands-on instruction. Ideal for those with basic climbing experience, the course prepares participants for more technical tree work.

Through a combination of classroom learning and practical fieldwork, attendees will build confidence in climbing safety, gear usage, and applied tree care techniques. The training emphasizes improving climbing technique, promoting safe and efficient canopy movement, and strengthening jobsite communication—key skills for continued professional growth in arboriculture.
