Kew easy for me location as is capel manor, but I would love to study at Kew, and get accses to the mycology dept also!

 

Collage is but a dream for me, tried and failed, time, money always bringing me to my knees in the end.

 

shall just keep buying books till i can afford a three day week AND the fees.

difficult to answer really, I studied my ND Arb at Houghall College in Durham (which is not on the list), but I also obtained my NPTC's there. Further to that, I believe that on the job experience is essential, and I have also applied to start a Foundation Degree at Myerscough (via the online route)!

 

I ticked "other"

 

[john dawson]

Hence "other"!

 

Ive met some of the Houghall college lads at the pole-climbing events, Good bunch of lads!

[Ian Flatters]

I put other because i see the apprentiships as a good way to learn. You get to got to college and learn theroy rather than take some old arborists word that topping is fine. Plus you get to work at a couple of companies which give you an insight on how diff outfits work.

Back to Riseholme for me. I didn't do arb there but forestry and conservation and I wouldn't swap those experiences for the world. They were some of the best times of my life and I'd do it all again in a flash.
