North-West: FREE ARB Approved Contractor Workshop 13th Feb.

[AA Teccie (Paul)]

Dear arb contractor,

 

Are you a small business interested in becoming 'ARB Approved?'

 

Could you get support from you Local Authority Tree Officer?

 

Would you be keen to save the £495 (+VAT) assessment fee?

 

SORRY if that all sounds a bit corney but if you genuinely are interested please get in touch ASAP as we are running a workshop on Wed. 13th Feb. at Myerscough College (TBC.)

 

Cheers for your time.

Paul

Hi there,

 

Essentially if you are a small business ('less than 5 employees') and interested in becoming 'ARB Approved' you are welcomed to join me at the workshop to learn more. If however you can secure a prior nomination from a local authority tree officer, who is basically confirming you undertake good quality treework usually evidenced on TPO'd etc. trees, then you can both attend AND enter the draw at the end of the day fro 1x FREE assessment (saving £495 +VAT) and 2x half-price assessments (saving £247.50 +VAT).

 

The only requirement is that you have to have been trading as a business for a minimum 2 years, you need to have min. 5 years industry experience and the assessment dates are predetermined (19-21 March (2013)).

 

The pdf. I attached explain more and the 'standard' for arb approved can be veiwed at Become an ARB Approved Contractor, scrolling down to the word doc. BUT I would emphasise these assessments are much more focused on outcomes rather than processes and last time round 90% of entries got at least provisional approval first time round.

 

Hope this helps.

Paul
