cheers for the help guys. places like london and even north Wales are a bit far for me and im also on a tight budget it looks like i am going to do a course in Coleg Sir Gar either in NVQ Forestry Level 2 or Extended and Subsidiary Diploma in Countryside Management Level 3 the only thing is neither of them is realy directly what i want especial the the 2nd, the college also do CS30/31 which may be a good idea but at the moment its a nightmare getting a job of any type let alone in arboiculture anywhere near where i live so a 7 week course would not be ideal. thanks for the help guys and i looked at the proclimber one a while ago if i was to go along that road would it be worth doing the 6week fast track or a selection of the smaller ones plus the problem i have wiht the proclimber is that i just dont have the money at the moment. thank you, Dyson

hi im as new to these forums as i am to arboriculture and tree surgery. i am about to finish a UNiformed bublic services course in college but as you may/ may not know none of the public services int eh UK are recruting especial the fire srervice which is what i wanted to do. I was thinking of becoming an arborist as my 2nd choice anyway andhas always been in the back of my mind but now ive come to look at it there i can hardly find any couses in the West Wales area the closest i found is a course in a college fairly local for Diploma in Countryside Management and from an old freind who is just finishing his first year on this course there is a bit of forestry and chainsaw built into it but iit is only one day a week for about 2 years would this be a good start or would i need to do a more specialised course. if so anyone know of any around the pembrokeshire carmarthenshire part of wales. Basicaly i am looking for the most info i can get in starting this as a career hope somone can help Thanks, Dyson
