Hi advice needed or recommendations

[Craiglr90]

The normal thing I guess been working in the industry a good while now and have a lot of tickets from brush cutter to chainsaw from rope and harness I'm looking to do a qualification more to the theory side of the industry just to better my knowledge and also my work has told me they want to put me through some thing looked at the rfs Course and looks great just think it might be abit to in depth for me yet is their anything people recommend as a good course to start with on this side of things I have tried to research on the internet but nothing is very clear , thanks in advance

Based on your original post, it sounds like the RFS certificate in arboriculture (Level 2) is exactly what you require. The purpose of the course is to provide practitioners (arborists) with the theoretical knowledge for work they do.

 

For example, it covers: the principles of tree surgery operations, the interaction between the soil and plants, woody plant physiology (how trees work), tree planting, health and safety & a little on trees and the law.

 

In my opinion all professional arborists should have, or be working towards, achieving this qualification.

Thankyou for reply tbh that is just the sort of answer I was after I would really like to do it as I find it so interesting and I already have more than enough of the nptc certification to cover me on the practical side so I will find a number and ring up and get it sorted / find out when the course runs and so on
