Training Events
Soteria Training Solutions presents Emergency Medical & Rescue Training (EMRT) for Arborists and Tree Care Professionals
Date: Wednesday, 9/23/26 (7:30 AM - 4:30 PM)
Location: Arbor Systems in the town of Oregon, Wisconsin
This course focuses on first aid for tree care professionals and the injuries common on the job site. We split students into groups and practice first aid treatments with each other. A short portion of the course is outside, but 95% of the class is indoors.
This course is something arborists, utility tree workers, public works, and forestry caretakers have been missing for a while. If your crew is ready for the next level operation, we highly recommend checking out the Emergency Medical Response Training course. CEUs available for Certified Arborists.
