Steps
Understand that TCIA Accreditation is a distinct, third-party-inspected credential — separate from plain TCIA membership or simply having a Certified Arborist on staff.
Call TCIA's Accreditation department at (800) 733-2622 to confirm current accreditation status for the specific company and location in question.
Cross-check the company's marketing claims against TCIA's public 'Accreditation Logo Violators' page, which lists businesses falsely claiming or no longer holding the credential.
If the company has multiple locations, confirm which specific facility is accredited — TCIA requires each location to be accredited separately.
Note that accreditation verifies adherence to both ANSI A300 (management) and ANSI Z133 (safety) standards, not just safety practices alone.
Known gotchas
TCIA membership is not proof of accreditation — most member companies are not accredited.
Accreditation is issued per physical location, so a company's accredited headquarters does not cover unaccredited branch offices.
