Hi Martin,

I trust you had a good festive holiday and wish you a happy, busy and prosperous New Year.

Not trying to myther you m8, sure you probably need a few days to get back into the swing of things, but just wondering if there is likely to be any more work forthcoming in the near future and if I could still be considered as a potential candidate. I'm still keen to come back out and help you out if needed.

Please pass on my best wishes to Jake, I've tried to text him a couple of times but my mobile does'nt seem to want to communicate with his!

All the best,

Rick.

Hi Ralphboy,

Speaking from experience I can say that I had no regrets re-training to do tree work, I absolutely love it. That said the industry appears to suffering worse in the NW than elsewhere in the country at the moment.

If you're determined, not afraid of hard work and enjoy working outdoors in all weathers (the heat of summer can be as much a burden as freezing wet sleet in winter) then I would definately recommend the work as you will find it very rewarding.

If you do decide to jump in and sign up for training then I would recommend that you book a block of courses to cover these four core units, CS30 CS31 CS38 & CS39 and arrange to take the assessments as soon as you can afterwards. Once you have these certificates you can then start to "learn" the job, because a certificate of competence means you can pass a test its not an instant passport to being a "qualified" treeman.

Hope this helps, I wish you the very best of luck M8 whatever you decide.

Regards, Rick.
