ABC Arboricultural Certificate

[Richard]

hello

 

I am soon to finish a National diploma in countryside management then wish to enrole on a ABC arb cert (theory only) level 2 at hadlow college part time in kent.

 

Has anyone done this coures before and do you rate it well? another question i have is do you have to have NPTC certs in chipper training and tree planting before you start the course i already have cs30-31?

 

Thanks any info will be great

I'm on my second year of the course at Hadlow Barry the tutor is really good. The practical units are for the RFS cert and you don't need them for this qualification.

Is this the RFS cert arb theory?? Also do you know when the course starts, I am looking to do the RFS cert arb online but would prefer to do it at Hadlow part time if it starts soon

What time of the year did you enrole on the course? when i phoned up they said they dont get the part time course prospectus untill june/ july time?

 

Thanks for the info

Thanks jay

 

No its the ABC cert part time however ABC are the examining body for RFS. The ABC Course runs closey in association with RFS so the qualification you recieve will still be the same i think, this is from my own research though.

 

hope this helps and makes any sense!

 

oh yeah the course starts in september 2010

maybe see you there
