10 week Tree Surgery Commercial Course
Land Skills Training replied to Kedi100's topic in Training & education
If that’s the case and definitely includes NPTC assessment fees for the Four CS units (which would normally be over £400.00 on top of the college training) then this is a fantastic price. -
Al thanks for the reference - I love you too. But sold Collis Tree Services at end of May to concentrate on Land Skills Training. Hope you are keeping well Mark

For Basic Climbing & Rescue courses Harness, Climbing Rope, 5m Work positioning Lanyard, Prussik Loops x3, Karabiners x 5, Helmet. Feel free to call us as we run these courses and you could hire some stuff so you can try before you buy. If you want to buy then try ATS Machinery at Lower Beeding who are not far from you. We could possibly get you some discount for you if on one of our courses. Cheers Mark

10 week Tree Surgery Commercial Course
Land Skills Training replied to Kedi100's topic in Training & education
Yep lots of good advice above. But just a note that the CS units are currently being replaced by new QCF units. Also check whether the price includes the assessment fees for the units. You may find that the price covers only the training and that you may have to pay quite a lot extra for an independent assessment to gain the qualifications! Good Luck Mark -
Yep agreed Bore through the front of the sink and through where the centre of the hinge would normally be in order to remove the centre of the tree if your bar is too small. In standard felling cut the hinge should be 10% of the trees diameter (at felling height). If you do this then a thicker hinge must be left either side to compensate for the absence of the middle part of the hinge. This is taught now in “felling trees over 380mm diameter QCF” (previously felling medium size trees). Different to the bore used in dog tooth cut which is from the side to prevent barber chair/splitting and should not remove the hinge. For larger “hung up” trees bore through the hinge from the back of the tree (Letterbox Cut) but please only do this if you are aware of the inherent dangers of doing it!! Be careful of kickback and take extreme care whenever carrying out bore cuts.

Hi Guys We run this course 3 or 4 times a year in Surrey. In brief You will need to have some experience in Tree Survey/Inspection work and a good knowledge of the common tree pests and diseases along with their implications for the tree. You need to be familiar with the works of Dr Alex Shigo and Claus Matteck. The course is aimed at Tree Officers, Contracting Company Owners/Managers, Consultants, Tree Suveyors who already have a basic understanding of Tree Inspection. Hope this helps. Mark

Anyone doing medium/large trees in the future
Land Skills Training replied to mikecotterill's topic in Training & education
Hi Mike Just to let you know there is no large tree felling assessment any more. The medium tree felling has had the diameter size increased to cover this. The new QCF qualifications (Felling Trees Over 380mm diameter) now allow for this to be an integrated assessment (assessment carried out by an accredited instructor) over 4 days. Or an independent assessment is still available if you prefer. I imagine that we are not local enough for you but we do have the new QCF course running in Surrey in about 8 weeks time, at beginning of Jan FYI this would count as small tree felling (now called felling trees up to 380mm diameter QCF) refresher and give you the new “Ticket” Hope this Helps Cheers Mark Collis Land Skills Training for LANTRA COURSES & NPTC Qualifications 01306 876404 -
