Our youngest wants to start as an Aerial Arborist, help and training advice please?

[Gardenmac]

Any help point us in the right direction... what qualifications and training does our youngest need to be looking at to start out working up in the canopy.

 

He is 22 and is unsure if he needs to focus his budget on aerial rescue and tree rigging or the equivalents of the old Cs30-Cs31 etc or does he need to complete them all. He has already completed Irata Level 1(Which I believe contained aerial rescue elements).

 

If anyone can help by pointing us in the right direction that would be a great help and much appreciated.

Do you have a college close by offereing courses in climbing arboriculture/Tree Surgery?

You need CS 30 and 31 before you can get your 38 and 39 tickets I belive.

 

How about looking into an arboriculture apprenticeship?

He can come and do a day or two with us to see if he really wants to go down that line of work

You can do cs38 with no other quals

Yes Thanks. He can go to Myerscough near Preston or I believe Croxteth Country Park has a training facility and thats not far at all.

Hope all is well with you.
