Arborist are we skilled or semi skilled

[Albedo]

Hama, could you take a physically fit and keen chap from the job centre, with no academic qualifications or consistant schooling and train him into an arborist, within 5 years with a bit of profffesional input regardign NPTC tickets etc?

 

Much easier and quicker to take a physically fit arborist, and turn him into a keen chap in the job centre:biggrin:

I am glad i could be of service.

 

You arent being asked to accept, thats your choice, and you may well be right, maybe I am wrong, certainly seems the "legal" definanition is in line with your views rupe.

 

I'm sure its not a "legal" term. But in the general sheme of things how important do you think tree loppers are?

 

In a 1-3 scale (un skilled, semi skilled or skilled) taking into account all trades and proffessions in the world, I think we are doing well to scrape upto number 2!

 

We are, after all, only cutting some trees!

so i am back being a number 2 then, phew!! the pressure was too much for me there.

[Rupe]

Glad someone gets my humour!

 

We are all scraping number 2's!

I think one of the main points being missed in this debate is natural aptitude.

 

I would argue all the very good climbers I have known will have had an inherent ability, a gift if you prefer.

 

I think all the best people in any field have an inbuilt ability that takes them above and beyond their training.
