QCF Level 4 Qualification in Arboriculture

[RobArb]

How different is the level 4 tech cert delivery compared to the level 5 FdSc? Is there a significant increase in knowledge obtained between the two levels?

Just answered part of that on Bundles "Bio Security" thread Rob.

 

I can't comment on the Lev 5 FdSc as i have no experience of that.

 

 

 

The 'new' Lev 4 is now a unit based portfolio affair with internal assessment.

 

A couple of the units can transfer over on to the lev 6

 

Can be awarded at either certificate or diploma depending on how many credits one acheives through the compulsary & additional units.

 

No exams or management day this time round.

Blimey, that was a little tougher than I expected it to be.

 

Literally just put my 66th & final assignment to bed last Friday.

 

Now awaiting the external moderation process.

 

 

 

It's been a very thought provoking & resource collecting year, with a fine lecturer in Mr Summerley

 

 

The 8 units will definately serve me well as a good platform resource that (I think) has & will make me a more rounded arborist.

 

Hats off to those of my fellow students going straight on to do the 2 year level 6 Professional Diploma after the Level 4.

 

I need a break

Thank you, I suspect I will need it!

Thank you, I suspect I will need it!

 

 

Hope you enjoy the challenge

 

Be careful not to sneak the fung directory or the fung Id app (if you have it) in to class for the fungal decay strategy assignments, Mr Dowson has informed me that he'll tolerate no cheating
