have you spoken to tim he owns and runs tkf, its a huge site and theyll do the cs 30 and 31 including the exam in 1 week. ive done a couple of courses up there and there a great bunch of lads
-
o and if you havent worked in the enviroment try calling some companies up and ask to do a days work to get hands. at least ud havea better knowledge and idea of what youre getting yourself into.
-
yeah do the 30 then 31 and if you can afford it do the 38 aswell, then all ud need is expernice and ud be a fully qual'd groundsman afterthat it all depense on what you want to do, the 32 34 39 etc all the best

try speaking to the next person above the guy you spoke to before or get confirmation from nptc via email then sent it on to the guy
-
? are you not able to use them ?

i know that if your a tree surgeon, refersher courses are a make or break at interview level. i believe its every 5yrs being the average between completing the course and refreshing. this i say from what ive only seen and heard. In your case if nptc, being the governing body say's it fine then its fine. maybe you should get the person you asked at nptc to call this guy and explain or send an email saying your qual'd up and are good to go.

timberwolfs are good but we get alot of blockages and have to dig it out by hand. weve also got a jenson and havent had a problem with that, the only thing that needs doing is changing the rollers as theyve worn down a fair bit. also the new greenmec is really fast and didnt have a problem with it. not sure which model but it was on a turn table

basic kit you could spend £650 plus, id would wait though, as ud be able to use the colleges kit. it wont be great but enough to pass the exams and learn the basics. i say this as i did what you want to do and have landed a job where all equipment is supplied for me. now ive got over 1k of rope harness boots trousers helmet etc gathering dust
-
is this the same as a foundation degree in arb? as im starting it in oct
-
would it not be cheaper to send it via sea. it would take a month or so and ud only pay part of the price for a shipping container if not dhl, when i was in iraq and afgan i used them i think it was around $100 for a 25kg box.

could a local famer not help? and im not sure if they just arrive in artics bud. if not spread the word across your local area, garden centres tree nursies even other arb companys ect and let them pick it up. if youve got sum old compost bags sell a bag for £3 or the like. im sure someone would take it off your hands and thered most proberly sell it on.

lol. ok, well the city council havent raised any tax for 3years, we havent recieved a pay rise in that time. we currently have 220k trees and on a good day 8 gangs of 3, and were soon to have a bugdet cut. the council owns the trees so if they want to process them for sale i dont see the problem, everything is recycled including the chip that goes to the power stations. so with budget cuts etc were bringing in a little cash that can go back into our dept to help with what every needs paying i.e. rent for the chippers ect. end of the day its a business, and im just a climber . as i said if you want to know more i can ask my boss
-
if this is really bothering you, ill find out fm my boss end of week. so you can sleep easier at night:001_tt2:
-
aye reciepts are made and handed over to the section director. this then does back into our section for equipment fuel heating bills etc etc. end of day the council owns the trees so if selling on makes some more cash for the section why not
