Correct qualifications to climb tree's?

[frank j]

Hello everyone I currently have my own small business which includes tree surgery and landscaping. I am starting to do more tree work than landscaping but cannot do the trees myself as I am not qualified so I have to get my uncles to do the work as they are fully qualified. But they are very busy and cannot always come and do my jobs, so I'm looking into taking the necessary qualifications to do the work myself but not sure what I need. Could any one tell me what tickets I need and where I can do them?

The minimum youvwill need is cs30,31,38 and39

[Ian Clarke]

as above with 30 31 38 39

 

kings wood training is not too far from you and i would personally recomend them.

Is there some reason you don't discuss this with your uncles??

If you are going to be working on trees it would be a good idea to study for the ABC level 2 certificate in arboriculture. This would give you a basic knowledge of tree biology and a reasonable knowledge of the many types of work undertaken by an arborist I.e. crown reduction, crown lifting, dismantling etc.

Yes over a family issue

Yes over a family issue

 

Fair enough, but its a shame as that would have been an ideal starting point.

Yes over a family issue

 

What they don't want you taking their work?

No just having some family issues at the moment unfortunately so going to have to get myself qualified , I agree would of been much easier with them starting me off. Do the courses train you from scratch or do you have to know abit about what you're doing as I haven't really done much?
