good evening. My name is Jarrad I am 20 years old, I hold a cs 30.1 30.2 and 31 license. I am hard working, very driven and motivated, and I love working outdoors. I always give 110% nothing less, I have transport and all my own PPE. I am looking for any work in the south wales area, I was previously working on a oil refinery until the contract finished but I studied land management in college prior to that. kind regards Jarrad

Right fellas faced with abit of a dilema im currently on a land management course in college, and have been for a few months now, its a 2 year course so still in reasonably early days. the problem is its not quite what i made it out to be, its a very spread out course as it touches on pretty much everything but nothing in great detail. The only bit i am interested in is the forrestry bit which is actually a one day a week nvq part of the course but it can be taken by itself so i can continue with it if i choose to opt out. Im 19 and looking/hoping to get some sort of tree specialist/surgery apprenticeship where i could do the job i am looking to pursue as a career every day all day .. whats your thoughts? thanks

rugby, gym main hobbis (obsessions ) then fishing of all sorts.. rugbys not expensive, the gym is though, being a bit of a meat head as were called the suppliments and food isnt cheap eating 2 chicken breasts, ten egg whites, a bowl of porriidge 3 protein shakes, 2 cans of tuna with sweet potato's or brown rice, 2 fillets of white fish then the dinner that my parents cook me every day isnt cheap!!!

alright fellas just thought i would come on here for abit of a rant lol... im a student in college (19) recently done my chainsaw course, the fee is 300 quid, i sent in for a endownment fund to the "local council" put down for all my kit, the course and other courses which i should do while in college, i got a letter back from them in october saying its being processed i will find out in january.. thinking everything will be ok i done my chainsaw course in november, havent paid for it, told the college im waiting for the funding, got a letter through today saying im not classed as part of the allocated area !!! gutted im now 300 in debt with the college, and no money for kit or anything !!! abso gutted !

hi mate the way i look at it is in order for you to have that in your shop its going to cost you money.. maybe not money directly from your pocket No, but money that could be in the till.. that space which s being isolated for your table and machine could be used for stock, manikins advertising stock or POS's again advertising stock and plus you got the added expense of keeping it up and running all day.. however if people sit down while waiting the are less likely to fill their pockets.. not saying it happens where you are but it certainly does where i work... just something to think of mate... what we do if someone is buying something substantial, popped in for a chat or getting something serviced, basically anything involving them staying in the shop for a while. we just offer them a cuppa and 9/10 they will go make one themself out the back....

just had a bit of a read on the base website seems the sc38, cs39 are next in line... anyone else reccomend anymore?

anyone? and if one of the more experience qualified guys can answer this for me, if you were me looking to do follow on courses what would you do next the aerial and rescue or the other chainsaw courses allowing you to use larger saws etc etc

what sort of price are these and whats the chances of getting grants and things for them?

cheers for the reply. right im changing my name to "jazz the tree surgeon" lol ill have a read in to the cs32. would you recomend the climbing course? thanks

Afternoon all... as some of you may know is i passed my chainsaw course lase week.. im just wondering whats next in line to become a qualified tree surgeon or whats the list of courses i should do from here now and rough cost would be great thanks
