Tree Risk Assessment: TRAQ & QTRA - Compatibility and Common Ground

[Acer ventura]

A point to clarify if I may?

 

 

Hi Kevin

 

It might be better to contact QTRA direct here. I suspect your question is bit niche to be of much interest to the readers of this thread

 

I'm only one of the trainers and know little about the fine detail in the words of which you speak. My understanding is the registered time begins from the day you do the training. However, you do not become registered until you pass the QTRA test.

 

If you have any further questions in relation to this then please PM or email me and I'll chase it up for you. Or better still, email Diane, the QTRA admin - [email protected], where I'm sure you'll get a more authoritative and comprehensive answer than I can provide.

 

If you do come along to Exeter, I look forward to catching up with you there.

 

Cheers

Is there ever scope to do any QTRAs in the Essex area?

Hi Kveldssanger

 

There's nothing currently planned for the autumn schedule near Essex, and I was in Cambridge in July. However, beyond the scheduled workshops, the locations of which are partially driven by enquiries, it works on levels of interest. By way of example, I ended up spending a week and half in Canberra, had an additional session down to Hobart, and then had to abandon a well-earned holiday in order to get over to Wellington in New Zealand earlier this year. The trip ballooned to 19 workshops by the time it was finally organised. Not that I expect too much sympathy for escaping the arse-end of our winter and spending time downunder.

 

What I would suggest is registering interest here.

 

Register interest in QTRA

 

Then see whether there's anyone else in your neck of the woods you know who might also want to come along, and get them to do the same. If there is enough interest, I’m sure either Mike Ellison or I could get to Essex for this autumn. If there's not enough interest to go at such short notice, then it could be short-listed as a possible venue for early next Spring.

 

Cheers

I might be interested in an Essex course, depending on location and dates. Best register interest as above I guess...

Hi

 

Just a bit of admin. The 'Safety in Numbers' presentation in the link below has been updated (Thanks moderators).

The only significant difference is the file is now half the size it was without the graphics suffering. Though still bulky, this means it can be emailed.

 

With the reprint to pdf, I also took the opportunity to change the screen grabs of the QTRA software calculator so they are all the same current version, and naturally I couldn't help but tweak a few of the notes upon revisiting.

 

Cheers
