Report writing workshop

[Paul Barton]

Hi all,

 

I am looking to organise a report-writing workshop in Dec/January so thought it would be worth throwing this open to any potential takers on Arbtalk.

 

The one day course will be taught by Dave Dowson of Treelife. I am sure many of you will have met Dave or have been taught by him in the past, but if you haven't I can assure you that he is an excellent teacher.

 

The course will take place either at our offices just south of Birmingham, or at the Treelife training centre in Leicestershire.

 

In brief the format of the day would be to carry out an inspection on a single tree in the morning and then spend the rest of the day preparing a robust and professional report about that tree.

 

The course is intended for those that have some previous experience of visual tree assessment and now want to build on their professional skills in order to confidently produce a quality written report.

 

Prices will depend on the number of people we can gather for the day.

 

If you are interested please reply to this thread or send me a PM.

Sounds like a good idea, Paul. I'm sure it will be of interest to a fair few of us here.

Excellent - glad to hear a few of you are keen.

 

Janey, surely the midlands wouldn't take long on your ferocious bike?

 

It looks like we won't struggle for numbers to make this happen so I will confirm a date and cost soon.

I'm just being a tight a... erm, bottomed person and worried about committing myself to something I may not be able to afford

 

In principal I think it's a great idea and something I'd really want to do.
