advice on further qualifications

[Ian Clarke]

hello all arb talkers

 

I would like some advice on further qualifications in arboriculture.

 

I would like to study and gain invaluable knowledge but i dont have the time for a full degree also will a degree help me in the future* im thinking for when my body says no more climbing mate*

 

or should i concerntrate on my cs quals?

 

so what i would like from each perspective if you have done a course*distance learning im most intrested in.

 

if you are an employer what would you look for at what level?

 

hope this makes sense and isnt too vague.

Hi Ian

 

Get real experience and your CS quals first then a level2 such as isa cert ETC, the degree should come only after experience

You should concentarte on you CS and do start some online courses and degrees. That distance learning will help you in gaining experience.
