Hi All after abit of advice i have been asked to do a tree survey for a company on one mature oak tree that is close to some foundations of a new build. I have been doing tree work for 12 years and just set up on my own and this is the first time i have been asked to survey. My question is do i require any tree inspection certificates etc my theory qualifications are:

 

Rfs cert arb (the theory Part)

and im in my last year of my foundation degree at myerscough college (on-line)

 

Should i wait to achieve my degree before taking on surveys?

 

any advice would be appreciated

Just for this one get a qualified working inspector to do the work and pass the cost on to the customer . You can always do the qualifications if you still want to later .

You should have a suitable level of professional indemnity insurance. If the level of survey is within your skill range and experience you should be ok but after studying for the foudation degree, you should already know that. The fact that you are asking the question puts a level of doubt in my mind that you are not too sure if you have the skills. If that is the case . . . don't survey and pass the job on.
