hi, im just in front of you in this game, i did the 1 year nc then started the 2 year nd but only did 1 year and took the na , in the first year i got 450 quid for kit and 130 in the second year, as far as cs tickets go i got 30/31/38/39/chipper and mewp all for free if i wanted others all i had to pay was the test not the training,the lads who did the nc as i was doing the na only got 30 and 38 as it depended on funding year to year, i would defo start on a nc or na/nd and learn the basics, i couldnt belive how much there was to know about trees and am glad i started with the basics lol -
i just sent them an email last week about work and if my quals are recognised over there, still waiting to hear back .
-
some good stuff so far, i havnt got HGV but if its cheap enough to do it out there then i'l look at that aswell. just need some pennies now to get out there for a holiday !
-
haha rednecks, that made me chuckle, yea think im gonna take a holiday first maybe a month over there see whats what,cant think of anything better than being hours away from the next town or even person, ahh bliss
-
i just spoke to my friend 2 days ago and he said about the 100% mortgage , when did they scrap that ? also said if i take a job with maf or doc that was in he middle of nowhere i might get a house and vehicle of them, might be a good thing, hours away from anybody else sounds good to me.
-
yea thats better and very helpfull thank you
-
cheers bud but that link aint working
-
yeah i realize money isnt everything but from what i've been told its cheaper to get a 100% mortgage than it is to rent so i just want peace of mind really, "bring your own gear" does that mean you cant get much out there or is it just a silly price ? also the life style out there is one of the main reasons i want to go, my friend over there moved there about 4 years ago and every thing he has told be about it makes me realize how rubbish this country is, i know the grass is always greener and all that but it sounds a lot better than here, of course i will visit first as a holiday maker but i think i have made up my mind.
-
wow, well im thinking of moving over there for good, i have a friend who has agreed to sponsor me and put me up for the first year in Wellington, i want to know what the work situation is like over there and what wage to expect, ie; is there much tree surgery as we know it in the uk or is it more forestry. i've been on MAF, DOC and seek and seen a few jobs but there was no wage stated, is there any good advice/criticism for me ?
-
any one on here from New Zealand or had any dealings with work out there ? could do with some advice !
-
a chainsaw for the wife ! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGPZUrtKylc]YouTube - EARTHWISE 18-volt Cordless 8-inch Chain Saw with Charger[/ame] sorry if this has already on a thread
-
um yea see what your all saying,was only gonna sell it cos i dont use it much and aint got much room in the shoe box now that we have a babber. but only had one offer anyway so looks like i'll be keeping it ! cheers all
-
its a size 1 ??? dunno if thats medium or large, as for price pm me an offer
-
no mate like i said only used it bout 3 times since last summer when it was new, rope is in a bag as is the harness.
-
or swap for a landy in any condition, the worse the better !
-
thinking about selling a harness and rope. i'm going to uni in sept (hopefully) thinking this equipment is just dead money as im not using it, not sure what to ask, its only been used about 3 times 1 x petzl sequoia srt harness 1 x Marlow gecko 35m 1x spliced eye 3 x prussic loops 4 x crabs 1 x groundie lid 1 x gloves any offers ?
-
what software are you using ? i use "spybot search and destroy" one of the best free ones out there in my opinion !
-
i had some very similar to them a while back, i had one of those mini stereo's and a really old 400 w amp (made of wood still) and it worked a treat, neighbours didnt go much on them though !!!
-
think im gonna do uni then either PD arb or tech cert or maybe both ! as for other little quals i also have some lantra tickets and a btec 1st in agri and hort engineering and an nvq 2 in amenity hort so should be well on my way with the quals side of things but as for practical experience, i realise it counts a hell of a lot but i am struggling to find any work round here , as my misses is preggers and due to drop in april moving isnt an option ! so i am gonna come unstuck there. hopefully i can find a bit of work when we get out of this recession !!!

hi im 29 and relatively new to this game, you say you have the P.D.Arb ? is it worth having/doing ? , i have the NC arb I'm doing the NA arb now then uni (landscape design) for 3 years then i want to get back to arb by doing either the AA tech cert or the PD Arb. what do you think ,is there a better route?
