Rfs

Thinking of putting my self and one of the guys through the RFS cert in Arb.

Either thinking 1 eve a week at collage or doing it online.

Both of us have been doing tree work for quite a few years now and we have there is one of us that is qualified in our company as a tree inspector to lend a hand if needed.

Just wondering would collage be worth going to apposed to online? And how hard is it? I hear people spending 2 days a week ok it?

I started my RFS cert online with Myerscough collage last year and totally underestimated how much commitment it required, projects, online discussions, research and tests etc. I had to drop it in the end as I got that far behind. It certainly would have benefited me by going to collage 1 night a week. You have to have some real commitment to do home study as you can be easily distracted. I think it all depends on what style of learning suits you better.

I'm the same as you, I had to drop out it was a lot of work especially with a 6 month old as well. I'd prefer to do a day a week or something similar

I'm doing in 1 night a week at moulton, seems easy enough, all assignment based and you can re submit if needed, until you get it right

The Horticultural Correspondence College do the RFS Cert as a home study course but its done over 2 years and doesn't look as time consuming as the Myerscough Collage course, maybe worth a look.
