10 week Tree Surgery Commercial Course

[Kedi100]

Hi Chris

 

Thanks very much for your positive feedback. Your advice is much appreciated and I shall certainly take it onboard. Just need January to hurry up now so I can get training but at least it gives me time to research some more and gain as much info as possible.

 

Cheers

Kev

I'm planning on quitting my job doing this course in April next year, this thread has been really helpful in the decision making. so thanks to all that have contributed.

I've studied woodland management in the past but never managed to make a career from it (I couldn't afford to spend years volunteering!), hoping that this course will be a way into a career that I've wanted for a long time.

I can't handle sitting in an office in front of a computer all day anymore, I just hear the woods calling!

Yep lots of good advice above. But just a note that the CS units are currently being replaced by new QCF units.

 

Also check whether the price includes the assessment fees for the units. You may find that the price covers only the training and that you may have to pay quite a lot extra for an independent assessment to gain the qualifications!

 

Good Luck

Price is £1200.

 

ALL fees included

 

Im currently on my last week of this course and this is the first time they have ran it as a level 3 course which for the price and time frame seems a real bargain.

 

Cant fault any aspect of the course at all, been a very enjoyable 10 weeks.

I'm sure it was £1800 when I did it at the beginning of 2009....

If that’s the case and definitely includes NPTC assessment fees for the Four CS units (which would normally be over £400.00 on top of the college training) then this is a fantastic price.

I "think" due to the fact they include the level 3 Arb diploma the course is recognized as more of an educational course and gets funding towards it which brings the price down.

Yes the course was a fair bit more in the past.

Ah yes if subsidised by funding then that would help:thumbup1:

The 10 weeker is subsidized by the government, hence the cheap price...

If you are unemployed or claiming working tax credits you may well find the course is still free.
