It is my understanding that there are two types of requirements.
One being a B contractors licence or LTO licensed timber operator. The B license will enable you to work in residential areas for trimming and removal. The LTO classes are designed around knowledge of wild lands including stream bed preservation and the like.
I got certified about 20 years ago as a LTO because I have work in and around some state parks. As far as today I am not sure what is still available. It sounds like you would apply for a state license then get a test date study like crazy pass the test and move on.
With a state license you could do about anything you needed to do. Once you have a completed test you will need to get signed off as far as experience then insurance. Generally you will not have license until you have insurance in place.
Get some good insurance quotes and find some people you did some jobs for and ask them to recomend you and you should be on your way. Nov 24, CacaoBoy ArboristSite Operative. As an arborist, the individual may graft trees, shape, or plant trees. An arborist is not a tree trimmer. The term "contractor" includes maintenance and service; does not include a nurseryman whose routine work includes the same incidental service or a gardener whose normal course of routine work may include incidental pruning of trees measuring less than 15 feet in height after planting.

There's a school across the street from the state license board where you take the test at that will help you with the eligibility requirements. You'll need to have worked in tree care 4 of last 10 years- your groundskeeper work should qualify, especially if your foreman or supervisor has a license and can sign for you There are no tree questions on the test, it's all about laws and regs, which if you attend the school it will be fresh in your mind.
Then you'll need a bond, which you can obtain from the same place. As far as the ISA test as I recall you need 3 years experience which you have. The test is far more difficult than the CSLB test in my opinion. For the Licensed timber operator, a major part of the "A" license is the loggers liability insurance, which is a big expense.
