This 4 week block course is designed for someone who would like a career in the arboricultural industry and can’t commit the time to our standard block course. 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. Please note this course does not include Felling & Processing Trees over 380mm, this can be done at a later date, if required, or by joining the tree surgery 6 week block course instead. Most of your training & assessments in one go without wasting months or even years waiting for the next training course or assessment.
We will train you to over and above the following NPTC standards and will provide successful candidates with 7 City & Guilds/NPTC awards:
