I would suggest it's about being suitably equipped and having the resources available to tackle the bigger jobs. Not discriminatory, at least not directly, as I know a few smaller firms that have lots of heavy duty machinery including a timber lorry...or at least a timber trailer and crane. Don't dwell, therein lies madness...but I do understand your frustration not least as often the associated tree-work standards they will accept are mediocre (even if the documentation refers to BS3998.) Cheers.. Paul
-
May need to do some pre-course study/reading...covering trees and law, tree physiology, trees and biomechanics, trees and energy systems, fungi and trees and tree inspection techniques. Read the MODULE CONTENT on the website link I provided previously. Cheers.. Paul
-
Yes, but as others have indicated you also need appropriate professional indemnity insurance. The course is quite testing and, ideally it would be under-pinned by a level 3 arb qual...plus experience too but everyone has to start somewhere. Cheers.. Paul

Hi, look here https://www.lantra.co.uk/awards/product/lantra-awards-technical-award-professional-tree-inspection-ita-course and maybe here Arboricultural Association - Course bearing in mind this course is about tree safety inspections not BS5837 surveys. Cheers.. Paul

Hi all, a quick update here. Karen, our CEO, is "on the case" with Taylor and Frances, the publishers, as we speak. I will update further when known. Re- membership discount, sorry 'no', but back copies will be supplied. Cheers all.. Paul

Hi Jon, Paul here The journal is a 'member benefit' (when it arrives ) included from Associate Membership and above. This costs £130 per year but of course includes other benefits (see here Arboricultural Association - Membership ) If an AA Member wishes to purchase additional copies I think they are £5 each. Hope this helps. Cheers.. Paul

Sorry Gary, I will chase it up first thing in the morning. Cheers.. Paul
-
Apologies, been out for the day. I'll certainly ask the question at Head Office. Cheers.. Paul

Me neither (perhaps surprisingly I am also an AA Member) I'll check the anticipated postal date tomorrow when colleagues are back in Head Office n get back to you. Sorry for delay.. Paul

Many thanks James, will the guys at Head Office, as I said my role was to keep their fluid levels up (Ts & Cs of course, nothing stronger ) Merry Christmas too.. Paul

"Watch this space"...we are in the process of developing some 'arb specific' guidance for FA providers to the industry...kinda '+A' Cheers, Paul
-
Exactly, the HSE guidance has always stated the FA trainig should be suitable and 'relevant', to the injuries likely to be sustained, and refreshed annually....hmmm. On the ArbAC scheme we like to see at least a mid-term (18 months) refresher which is often with, for instance, St John or BRC because of ease of accessing it. Cheers, n Merry Christmas.. Paul

Where in the UK would you fancy living.

...wherever has the largest 'umbrella' and probably eastwards as tried N-S on west side n still got webbed feet Northumberland appeals, as does East Anglia...but might be underwater in the not too distant future. Paul -
