Training costs ?

[devon TWiG]

Could any one give me a rough idea how much it would cost to train as a tree surgeon nowadays ? This would include all necessary cs units , for chainsaw use and climbing, aerial rescue etc ... ( training and assessment costs please ) I am not considering doing this , I did it all years ago and have now retired from full time tree work , but am curious as to training costs in relation to potential income in comparison to other trades / professions .

Done my cs units not long ago 30,31,38,39 cost me £2200 for the lot using my own gear/ppe, that's just my tickets though!

The same units as Jamie_tardi cost me around £2000 around 18 months ago.

PPE and gear was provided and I did receive a small bit of funding through lantra
