Help and advice

[Andyg2096]

I am currently in the process of leaving the Army after being injured in Afghanistan, my injuries do not restrict me at all regarding work, I am moving into a career in Tree Surgery, by the end of June I will have the following qualifications, gained from a very reputable company; Kingswood Training Services.

 

NPTC Unit CS30 – Chainsaw Maintenance and Crosscutting

NPTC Unit CS31 – Felling Trees up to 380mm diameter

NPTC Unit CS38 – Tree Climbing and Aerial Rescue

NPTC Unit CS39 – Using a Chainsaw from a Rope and Harness

LANTRA Cert. – Use of Woodchippers

LANTRA Cert. – Use of Stumpgrinders

LANTRA Cert. – Business Studies for Tree Surgeons

 

So I was looking for advice from people in the North West, I live in the Greater Manchester area, on, if my qualifications and record in the military, would give me a good start in this new career? And also where to look for employment?

I am leaving the Army ranked as a Cpl, very fit and strong even with my injuries, also I have an Exemplary Military Record and testimonial that reflects that.

 

 

 

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated...!
