ive thought about self employment the problem being thats theres already alot of tree company's in my area already, from small outfits some of Scotland's biggest apart from that, im un-emloyed and the only jobs going are part time in shops, no way i can save enought money to do anything let alone start my own company

True, im still more than willing to learn, i just need to find someone to take me on and show me more. Im fed up no working, so much so i phoned company's and even offered to work the odd day for free just to get some experience behind me, no-one is bothering though

i did a course at Kilmarnock College in Ayrshire, Scotland. Last August to July this year, i had 2 lecturers called Angus Tresider and Craig McIntosh, Angus has worked as a tree surgeon all over the world and took up teaching years ago, Craig has bags of experience, i couldn't have asked for better teachers, both are NPTC qualified instructors and assessors. Everything on my course was spot on, maybe this was because both really new what they were doing.
