Accreditation is a voluntary process where the overall manner in which business is being conducted is evaluated. Unlike certification, which speaks to the level of proficiency of the individual, accreditation speaks to the proficiency of the company.
The Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) is an association that helps tree care businesses by developing a number of different programs, from safety to care practice and management. TCIA works hard to ensure that every business that uses its services is on top of the latest standards in the industry. Taking care of trees is extremely important, and helping a business through the accreditation process is the number one priority of TCIA.
TCIA offers different accreditation programs depending on the needs of the business. The most common accreditation is the TCIA accreditation. This accreditation gives consumers the confidence that the accredited business conducts their business in a safe, ethical, and legal manner. With a TCIA accreditation, you can rest assured that your yard and trees will be treated with the utmost respect and care.
