Alright dude?

I did the same thing about 6 years ago - changed career to tree work. I did the 10 week tree course at Otley college. I lodged in a nearby house for the time i was there. You get your basic 4 tickets and a level 3 subsidiary diploma in arboriculture ans forestry. This is a enough to start in thr industry as a trainee.

If you can afford the time away from home I'd do it. You learn basic biology, biomechanics, trees in the built environment, forestry and woodland management, pests and diseases as well as the practical elements.

While doing the NPTC tickets as individual courses is a cost effective way in, you will lack the wider understanding of trees. Learning on the job can be unreliable - the stuff I've heard some people come out with about trees is unbelievable, sometimes from people who have been cutting for years.

Im looking to see if i can get onto this course, do they offer accommodation?

I have applied for this course, just awaiting feedback now.
