Hello

 

Been out off school now for 4 years and been in full time employment for since I left school, I really want to change my career would like to get into tree surgeon as I have always wanted to do it. The down side I didn't leave school with any GCSES cause I went to a spacial needs school, and was wondering what was the college requirements, or is there any other good way to get into this field of work? I was thinking of taking all of my chainsaw tickets I.E CS30 upwards then into tree felling doing it that way, Would like all of your professional views on this!

 

All comments and advice will be much appreciated!

 

 

Kind regards

 

Joe.

I would recommend speaking to your nearest college that does arb courses. They can talk you through the minimum requirements for their own courses. If you need to reach any kind of minimum level, for example with your basic skills (numeracy and literacy) then they may also be able to help you with that too?

 

They may also be able to put you through a general Land-Based level 1 'access' type course that can give you the skills/knowledge you need to get onto say a level 2 arboriculture diploma.

 

For example; Capel Manor do an "Access to FE (further education) in Land-based & Environmental Studies", which can then get you onto the lv2 Arb diploma by the sounds of it (if you do well that is).

 

Other colleges may have similar options??

 

Good luck. The deeper you look and the harder you work, the easier it is :)
