    the college im at is capel manor in enfield, i was thinking about merrist wood but its just too far and the travel would cost me a fortune, but enfield isnt close either, i had to work my arse off to get the work opportunity myself, i must have rung about 30 firms and 90% were a straight no, i ended up with 2 yes's and chose the company who had a better reputation with the other firms that said no. Regards, Angus. and merry xmas to you aswell.

    well i might of got it twisted a bit, do you have to be qualified? or just capable? im about 3 months in now all is going well, not had any accidents yet, but few people on the course have, had a few trees sit back on me, im on the worst pay i could ever be on, but atleast im learning new things, ill freely admit me im green as green can be, but im picking it up as fast as i can, and ive learnt from my mistakes already, im never late for work either.

    so do you think i would be employable as a groundie once i had completed the apprenticeship? it was just the aerial rescue thing i wasnt sure of because i have been told you have to have 38 to work legally as a groundie.

    hey ive just joined up here, im new in the industry, im on an arb apprenticeship scheme, basically my apprenticeship gives me 3 nptc qualifications (30 31 pa1/pa6) and an nvq level 2 portfolio qualification with different units like mewp use of chainsaw from rope and harness, climbing and aerial rescue, i just wondered what is the actual value of the nvq2 level 2 qualification to my employer and myself? because i dont know and my tutor hasnt explained it very well, thanks in advance for any advice. Regards, Angus.
