Massachusetts Arborists Association - 2020 MCA Recertification Form (non-members)

MAA events are listed on the form below with their credit value. However, every industry-related event, training, seminar or workshop can earn you credit. How much credit depends on how long the event / training was. See the chart below to calculate the credits earned for any non-MAA events or trainings you participated in this year. For example, if an event was an hour long, you can count 1 credit. If you attended a day-long conference, that's 2 credits. Note: education and safety credits are calculated slightly differently. If a training or event is safety-related, be sure to use the correct credit value.

Please complete and submit this form in one session. Your answers will not be saved if you exit the form before submitting.

You will receive a receipt for payment which serves as your confirmation of submission. If you require a copy of the RTS after you have submitted it, please email the MAA Office.
