Steps
Confirm eligibility before enrolling: TRAQ generally requires an existing recognized credential (e.g., ISA Certified Arborist, or a qualifying arboriculture/forestry/horticulture degree); unlisted credentials require ISA pre-approval via the TRAQ Prerequisite Eligibility Catalogue before enrollment deadlines.
Register for a full multi-day TRAQ course/exam offering through an ISA chapter (schedule and pricing vary by chapter and region).
Attend the full course and pass both required TRAQ exams to earn the qualification.
Note that maintaining TRAQ does not require separate CEUs — it is renewed by retaking the course and exam periodically, not through ISA's standard CEU system.
Confirm the current renewal interval directly on ISA's TRAQ Program Guide before committing to a specific number of years, since published sources are inconsistent.
Known gotchas
TRAQ is a stand-alone qualification, not an ISA certification — logging CEUs will not renew it; the course and both exams must be retaken.
Public sources disagree on the exact renewal interval (roughly five years appears most commonly cited) — verify the current figure on ISA's own TRAQ Program Guide rather than a secondary source.
