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

[Acer ventura]

Hi

 

I recently had the pleasure of presenting ‘Safety in Numbers’ at the International Society of Arboriculture conference in Florida last month. I’ve since worked on an enhanced transcript of the presentation to accompany the slides, and by way of thanks to Arbtalk for the platform I've been given here with some really visually heavy threads, am uploading it for those of you who might be interested.

 

Cheers

Thanks for this David - I look forward to having a read.

 

I have booked on to a QTRA course in October to re-visit it since I last attended in 2010 - I'm looking forward to it.

Hi Paul

 

Thanks, and let us know what you think.

 

Which QTRA course are you going on? You should find the presentation good preparation for it. There's a lot that's changed since 2010.

 

Cheers

I'll be at the Monmouth day. Are you delivering that one?

Are there any intro / training days in the Westcountry?

Hi Kevin

 

Would Monmouth or Exeter be West Country enough for you? The rest of the 2015 QTRA calendar is here.

Exeter is good, just looked at dates and I think it may be possible. Will read through website details and follow up today. Many thanks!

Registered interest and received introductory email, many thanks. Will be in touch shortly!!

A point to clarify if I may?

 

From the 'Know How Licence Agreement':

 

2.2.3 neither the Licensee nor any Licensee Representative shall use the Technical Information or Materials until they have completed the Training

 

3.1.3 An annual fee, set on the 6 April each year and detailed on the Licensor's website, together with value added tax thereon during the Term ("the Licence Fee") .

 

9.1 Subject to Clause 2.1 this Licence shall come into effect when you click the “Accept” button (“the Effective Date”) and, subject to the remaining terms of this agreement, shall continue in full force and effect for a period of one (1) year and thereafter

 

It appears that the 12 month licence starts from the date of clicking accept but that, neither in practice nor under licence, might one claim to be accredited to the system until completion of training. Similar question, noting the 6 Apr annual tariff review, can it be assumed that 12 months fee is from the date of entering the agreement regardless of passing the next annual tariff review or is there a pro-rata increase for any months in the revised tariff?

 

So if I click accept today, I'll be signed up for 12 months (from today) but until trained and accredited (potentially 21 Oct) unable to practice, thus actually only achieving a little over 10 months of accreditation. Or have I misunderstood?
