Training advice

[Dak]

Hey folks!

 

I'm doing my pttls soon and was wondering how best to get into training, in all honesty only looking to do climbing as 30/31 would bore me senseless!

I've done no training in tree work apart from mates an coworkers etc.

Have experience in sports coaching/first aid which has obvious transferable skills in terms of communication with students!

I don't want to stop cutting and climbing, do many trainers sub to training companies as well as being on the tools?

I'm in staffs if anyone has any region specific info!

Does anyone know of anyone who does arb specific first aid courses? Something I'd be keen on doing, incorporating first aid into rescue scenarios etc!

 

Any info would be appreciated!

Arb specific First Aid is something I am currently working on - but can't sa much more here yet.

sorry but if 30/31 would bore you maybe tree work is not for you, as you will need these to use a saw up a tree.

I'm a subby climber.... Just looking at working as a trainer during my down times!

 

Same with first aid as before I got into tree work I was working with west mids ambulance service!

 

Looking for advice in how to get into training not to do some training

[VEG]

sorry but you did say in your first post that you had done no training in tree work, but then you go on to say you dont want to stop cutting and climbing. It dont take much to confuse me lol

Ahhh sorry I meant training as in teaching people!

Apologies for any confusion!

You could contact an existing training provider like these guys - Achieve Ability Plus ? Environmental and Land Based Vocational Training courses - [who I did my courses with years ago and who I'll do some more with when I get the time] and see what they say.
