HOW TO EARN AND TRACK MCA CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS
There are two ways that MCA Education and Safety Credits are earned:
In-person Events:
For in-person events, evidence of your attendance must be retained in case you are audited. Many events will have a sign-in sheet specifically for MCAs or some may provide a takeaway form. Others are honor system entirely - please retain your registration receipt or other evidence of your attendance, such as your name badge.
Online Events:
For online events not associated with MAA, please complete the Webinar Confirmation Form to document that you viewed and participated. To earn credit for one of these webinars, you must submit a confirmation form.
It is the responsibility of the arborist to maintain records of continuing education credits earned and submit credits annually.
Be sure to visit the INDUSTRY CALENDAR for upcoming events that may grant credit.

The following are sites that have been approved to grant MCA credit. If you find other resources, please let us know so that we may approve them and add them to this list for the benefit of all MCAs.
