new guy starting out

[TomoJack]

Alright guys.

Im from 28 and from Maidstone kent.

 I am going to take a 4 week course at kingswood at the beginning of next year to gain some tickets. 30/31 38/39 wood chipper and stump grinder. 

 

My question is im completley new to this industry do you think this is the right course for me?

 

And if i do pass it, how hard would it be to gain permanent employment as i will lack experience.( I know i wont be a climber stright away and will have to start at the bottom). 

 

Thanks

Kingswood courses are good. There are other providers available locally too (chippings tree surgery/ east malling research centre/ hadlow etc... Work experience easy ... put your details on here or email local companies. Its busy time at the moment ... but it will quiet down in the new year (well it does for me). Depends how far you want to travel for the work. Im local to you and work for people in sevenoaks....

You’re a good age to start this sort of thing, and 4 weeks is not too long.

You might have to do some cheap graft or do a week on trail etc but if you ha e your head screwed on, your keen and work hard any decent employer will see that in you

Well worth giving scott Fraser a shout for training. Super knowledgable guy and a great setup.

Only advise I'd have is give some local folks a shout to get you started dragging brash and getting the basics sorted.

I'm only in Ashford and we're all friendly (well most of us[emoji12])

Im definatly keen mate.  just a large outlay so im abit nervous.

 

I will shoot out some c.vs nearer the time of course with a covering letter explaing my situation, hopefully some offers will come up!
