Online qualifications...

[MaximusExcelsior]

Hi all,

 

I have just completed a level 2 diploma in arboriculture at Broomfield hall in Derby.

 

I am now eager to gain a higher level qualification but was looking to do an online course. I know myerscough have the RFS but that is a level 2 course also.

 

Could anyone recommend any courses providers online? Tried google but couldn't find any others! Ideally I'd like to do level 4 ABC award in arboriculture.

 

Cheers!

myerscough also do a foundation degree online, but that is a level 5 (I think) course.

Try Keely Dowson at Tree Life Arboricultural Consultancy Ltd

They run ABC Awards online level 3 / 4 & 5 I believe.

The RFS is being regraded I believe to be more like a 3/4 as in its current format its too hard to be a level 2.

 

You could contact RFS for further information on this, but I am told that this process is happening right now.

Hi there,

 

Might I suggest there is a little confusion here (at least there will be once I've finished ).

 

The RFS Cert Arb (level 2), as was, is now the "ABC Awards level 2 certificate in arboriculture"...so not much change really.

 

On the new QCF (Qualifications and credits framework, which I too am still struggling to get to grips with) this course attracts '21 credits' and hence is a level 2 certificate course whereas if it attracted 37+ credits, which is essentially a course at the same technical level but 'more of' (or greater breadth maybe), it would be a level 2 diploma.

 

Hoping this helps...kinda!

 

cheers..
