Hi all looking for yet more advice. We (myself and family) are planing to emigrate to New Zealand next year with any luck. I'm looking for advice on with training as I have a grant to use before we leave. I'm already a competent arborist (or I like to think so) with all my climbing, rigging, felling, formal educational qualification to level three and tree inspection and assessment qualification. The question is this how can I best use the grant I have to make me more employable and better asset to a New Zealand based company? I was thinking along the lines or some thing like emergency tree works and wind blow trees ticket, mini digger ticket or tractor tickets? I can't use it to get my HGV unluckily. I would love to do my level 4 Arb tech but would not have time to complete before we move so will have to wait. Im sure there are other courses or quals I could have over looked thats why I'm asking the greater community for any help and to see if there any thing that is really in demand out there? Cheers for all the help Dave

That's what everyone seems to say so must be true! As soon as the wife and kids have got the passport sort I'm starting on my visa application!

Ha that's great I acutely do these in torquay in Devon to and have to pull up the crown as well and wrap then. I look like some sort of self harmer by the end of the day. How are you finding New Zealand I'm looking to move out there next year with my family?

Cheers chris that a great help, destination in level 3 90-Credit Diploma in Forestry and Arbicultre, It's all as clear as mud!

Hi all the information I find on this topic is very unclear I am Level 3 qualified in Arb in the U.K but can't seem to make sense of what level this is in New Zealand is it's still level 3 by there standards? Thanks for any help on this. Dave

Cool will do thanks for the help

Hi all got some yew and apple sitting around in south Devon was put to the side for mates dad who turns but doesn't want it any more any takers? The yews coming up to 2year seasoned and the apple just under a year.

Alright there I left the army after 8years in the infantry that was over 4 years agonI use a good training provider called Lynher training base in Cornwall got pretty much all my tickets from cs30 to Cs 41 as well as a level three in Arb and other various things so really got the best out of my resettlement package. I would diffantly suggest them even though it's a bit of travel time for your self I haven't herd great things about kingswood but can't talk from first hand experience so who nows. As for gaining experience and there for more money I found that getting my tickets gave me that foot in the door, the first company I work for we're horrible didn't now a pruning cut from a barn door but again it was experience pay was wank but got me time on the job, from there got a better job and now I run a team and am one of the lead arborist in the company's work for. But I never turned down a chance to climb always said yes to all the wank but there where I found i learned my basic skills. I've pretty much been in your shoes by the sounds of it so if you need any more help or adivce just message me more then happy to help Cheers

If missing the beer garden one of the hard bits I can live with that! Thanks for the break down dead handy it's a bit off a mission deciding where really but really exciting! How's the price of loving compared with the wage for arborist can you live or is it a matter of just getting by do you think? I now wages vary but just again some more generalisation to have a ball part idea for a starting point.

Cool thanks for the info it just what I'm after paints a real picture for us. It's good to now about the jobs as though I might have been tied into Auckland so that cool as open up the option. Wellington does sounds pretty mad with that mix of sencery! An hell the sausages thing going to be a bugger as it my girls favourite but there live, I suppose cider is the same?

Looking for a nice location in or near a large town really bit of a country boy so love the out doors and rural lifestyle and so do the family. Havnt been there yet bit of a crazy if we don't do it soon we never will thing going on, plus the kids are still young so best for them now we think. Got a lot of friends who have who have been and some that have stayed we are now then quizzing a lot! Have herd nice thing about Wellington and that it's windy. I now that arborist are on the short term skill shortage list but our time line is about two year to get there so am a bit worry that that might not be the case then! Might have to do a bit of Arb talk stalking then for taupotreeman and see if I can rack his brain! Cheers Goaty

Hi looking for some advice in regaurds to moving to New Zealand. Currently I'm a team leader for a company have good level of experience in all level of arbiculture. My wife and I have decide that we would like to move to New Zealand with our family. We think that a skilled migrant visa is the way to go but not sure really and not sure where to try and end up, it seems that there is more jobs in Aukcland then any where but again not sure. I now there is a mass of information on the web but some times talking to real people is just easier! So looking for any help, advice or general input from any one out there or from there or is doing the same really on jobs, areas to live, the application process and how you have found it? Cheers Dave

Nice job looks good

There's a Morrisons in liskeard that pretty fancy

Yeah and probably planted in hardcore. Without any watering there no water there be any water will naturally get to them there. I do a lot of L.A working and drives me crazy the total lack of aftercare

We used Devon are once think it was a mate of his but had a good winch and tractor with timber trailer to base Newton abbot way
