How important are these highlighted aspects?

[Mark J]

Usually, the essential ones are essential and the the desireable ones are desireable...

[Paul Barton]

The first is essential and the second desirable!

 

In other words we will consider people with no previous highway surveying experience, but we can only consider people with a recognised Arboricultural qualification. I'm afraid it has to be this way due to the contract specification.

Just asking, always asking!

 

PTI is a level 2, do you know of any other Modular type schemes that would be level 3?

[gibbon]

I think the PTI is classed as a training course and although it is assesed is not recogised as a qualification. That was information I read whilst tendering for a similar contact recently.

[Bundle 2]

For some reason i had it in mind that PTI was level 3...Ill rephrase that ...that a level 3 qual is regarded as the pre-requisite for successful completeion of the the PTI....I could be wrong but Gibbon is right in that it is not recognised.....well. Ill rephrase that too. It has no recognised status from ABC or educational boards. I also believe that the PTI is required repeated after 3 years....

Anyone care to clarify the situation?

[Paul Barton]

I was under the same impression as you Bundle 2. I have searched the AA and LANTRA websites but can't get any further clarification from there.
