Hi...

 

I am looking at doing my Professional Tree Inspection course early next year and was wondering if anybody has undertaken the course provided by Newlands Training Centre based in Dorchester?.....If so how did you find the training, tutors etc?

 

Any feedback good or bad will be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys

We run this course 3 or 4 times a year in Surrey.

 

In brief

 

You will need to have some experience in Tree Survey/Inspection work and a good knowledge of the common tree pests and diseases along with their implications for the tree.

 

You need to be familiar with the works of Dr Alex Shigo and Claus Matteck.

 

The course is aimed at Tree Officers, Contracting Company Owners/Managers, Consultants, Tree Suveyors who already have a basic understanding of Tree Inspection.

 

Hope this helps.

Did it there last week. Instructor, Derek was good. It was very in depth and I don't have the level 3 qualification they wanted as a pre-requisite. But, I'm doing the level 4 at the mo and the lessons I've had so far were directly related to the course, i.e. tree mechanics. If I wasn't doing that I would have been massively out of my depth. I haven't had my results yet; it could go either way. If I don't pass though, I know now what to expect.

 

 

 

Loads of coffee/biscuits. Quality biscuits too.

Just found out I passed. If Derek can get me through, he's worth his weight in gold. Get on it!
