European tree work course

[jarnii]

Hello people. 
 

im looking at booking myself and a contractor onto a course in the Netherlands for a European tree worker course. I know this is pretty much useless or not as sort after in the uk but if anyone has any interest in the study and exam or knows anyone who is I’d be happy to share the info I have. The costs are depending on the amount of people who participate so I can’t be sure yet what it would be.

This course is probably of little interest to anyone in the UK unless they intend to apply a work visa in the EU. 
The UK Health and Safety Executive/AFAG have recently recognised the ECC/ICC accreditation to be equivalent to that of the UK NPTC chainsaw credentials, so it would certainly be of use to EU nationals who may like to work in the UK.
