son in law is in a bit of a downer. just been made redundant just before christmas.

can not decide to get all his arb tickets to be able to do climbing work.

or go and get his blue card to drive 360,s.

he is a monkey when he climbs and would be good at it just trying to show hime it may be the way forward to go rather than a 360 which is hard to get into and with all the rain not much around.

any veiws. i know it is quite at mo but its between christams and new year.

Sure he can climb but has he had any hands on experience with arb work? Take downs, reductions that kind of thing? It's ok him going out and getting his tickets but from an employers point of view he would only get bare minimum due to his experience level, which can take years :thumbup1:

 

so what would the bare min be for him to gain expiarance to become a fully fledged member of a arb team. he can use a saw even though he does not have the paperwork.

he is just trying to decide which way to go. been working for a large landscape company and had very good reports on his work but its gone quite so the seasonal guys got laid off to keep work for the full timers. he was last of the seasonal to be laid off as he was a hard worker. he is hoping they may ask him back in January when they go back. any sugestions eg hourly rate he may be looking at to start from the beginning. and would any tree surgeon take him on as a laborer to start before he gets his tickets

To be honest every one is different but I would say near on minimum wage for a beginner £6 £7 ish at a guess mate:001_smile:

thank you for all your input he is a cracking worker as he helps me from time to time doing my work and does a lot for a parish council been doing there work for 5 years. he wants to get into the tree game but like all things without the experience and cv,s to vouch for your work its hard to get on ladder.

i think he is now looking at going to get his basic cs tickets. and see if he can get even if its just a job now and again at least he can gain expiarance with a profesianal team. and maybe move up the tree to become a climber. sorry for pun
