Hi,

 

There are a number of 'ARB Approved Contractors' in the Staffs area so maybe give them a call, see West Midlands - Arboricultural Association

 

Don't mind if you say Paul from the Arb Assoc 'suggested' I call you.

 

Good luck and be persistent...but polite with it, don't give up!

 

Paul

You may need to put in more than one afternoons worth of effort before you loose your rag😂.

 

But if you have not killed yourself through frustration just be persistent. Play the long game and all will come good in the end.

one thing I would do is if you are asking for help then leaving it two months to answer and then sending me a PM saying "a up mate were abouts in cannock are you" will not get any help from me.

Sorry but I think manners don`t cost anything but if you are talking to a potential employer you should talk to them in a professional manner. I have too many (usually young people) phoning me up asking "`ave you got any jobs?" and it`s now got to the point when I can`t be bothered to explain that you should ask in a sensible way.

Hi again Wrights. An apprenticeship is the way to go. Try to get into a firm that is small enough to allow you to get some proper experience. In a big company you could spend months washing trucks and feeding the chipper.

Also remember that an apprenticeship in Arb takes years even after the course has officially finished. Finishing a course doesn't qualify you as an expert and an ego is very destructive in a team job.

Keep persevering and all will come good for you.
