QTRA Course

[Frimsley]

Does anyone know the difference between the courses of a) QTRA training and b) Practitioner's guide?

 

Info on the Practioners Guide at http://www.qtra.co.uk/cms/index.php?section=46.'>http://www.qtra.co.uk/cms/index.php?section=46. It's a useful recap of VTA, how decay spreads and the use of a hammer for decay mapping.

 

QTRA training is much more about risk and thinks at least as much about the target as the tree. Most of the rest of http://www.qtra.co.uk is about QTRA.

 

I assume to become a licensed user you would need to do the QTRA training?

 

Yes.

I have done both courses with mike and can say they are good and come in useful.

QTRA is very much target based. Mike himself says, and quite rightly, no target, no problem! It is a numerically based calculation of probability. It is not a necessarily "arborist" lead approach to tree risk quantification and works on a multiplication of data....
