Overview

This course is designed for someone who would like a career in the arboricultural industry. We cannot promise you that you will be the fastest climber after this course but we will give you a great start into the tree climbing world. This course is intended to bring an inexperienced operator up to competent operator level, in the process becoming a real asset to an arborist company. Most of your training & assessments in one go without wasting months or even years waiting for the next training course or assessment. If you can’t commit to 6 weeks of training, check out the new Tree Surgery 4 Week Block course.
