Arborist Training

[Totoblackstone]

Hello Everybody

 

I'm french and I just came back from New Zealand.

During 4 years I studied and worked in Forestry (as worker and Technician)

 

Now I would like do a new training to be Arborist Climber and practise this job.

i heard that it's possible to do an one year internship in Sweden or Finland with a professional.

I also heard that in Ireland and The Uk are some good trainings too.

 

Do you guys know about any companies in Sweden, Finland, Norway (especially) or Ireland and the UK which are able to take someone for an Internship.

 

or about any possibility to get an training to be a arborist.

 

I'm really motivated and i want to increase my knowledge and learn more about tree care and also how to work with urban trees.

 

Cheers

 

Toto

Hi Toto, I was just wondering why you don't want to do a CS en France?

There are some great training providers such as Chez nous on vous met dehors pour réussir ! : CFPF based in Drome.

In Ireland and the UK you can go through a college, or you can be trained and assessed for individual units (for example chainsaw maintenance) by an independent provider, when you have been successfully assessed for these units you are awarded a certificate of competence (awarded by NPTC City&Guilds). This is what all employers in the UK look for from an employee.

 

The basic certificates are;

AWARD IN CHAINSAW MAINTENANCE & CROSS-CUTTING (previously CS30),

AWARD IN FELLING AND PROCESSING TREES UP TO 380MM (previously CS31),

AWARD IN TREE CLIMBING AND RESCUE (previously CS38),

AWARD IN AERIAL CUTTING OF TREES USING FREE-FALL TECHNIQUES (previously CS39)

 

I hope this helps...
