Go out and get some experience putting into practice what you've learnt

excactly, to many "ticket collectors" out there and not enough experience to back it up

[Ecleverdon]

but whats the point of having the experience and then going to an employer saying i have loads of experience but im sorry i dont have my tickets to prove it to HSE

By all means get some experience, however to answer your question.

the training route I would normally put people through is 30,31 - chipper - first aid - (consider 32)- 38,39 - 40,41. if need arises for brushcutter or the opportunity of mewp tickets in the meantime consider these too but of less importance.

 

32 is often a course skipped by those keen to get up the tree but is, imo, a very important one.

I've been getting experience in between doing my training and the assessment over the past year. At the moment I'm not really looking to go into climbing, so possibly CS32 and what others would be useful to look into .

Throw your L plates away and go bonkers !

CS 38 and chipper ticket. You'll be more employable as a groundy/rescue climber.

Cs39 if funds allow, work as a second climber to get experience.

 

 

I really get a buzz from my work, to infiniTREE and beyond

If your not that keen on climbing at the moment then 301 (cs32)would be best at least with that you can fell any tree in girth as at the moment there is no upper limit but that is due to change in the near future also first aid is a must and it is expected that all chainsaw users hold at least the basic qualification in addition a chipper ticket is also a good one to have it all helps to make you employable
