We'd love to say hi if you're coming to APF this year. Whether you're new to climbing, experienced and thinking forward to when you might be on the ground more, or have already downed tools we'd love to say hello. At our stand will be Beccy, Kate and Cherry the dog (all from CTC) and Keely (from Tree Life AC) will be with us 10-3 each day. Together we have decades of experience in the industry. Keely is able to help those looking to further their education in arboriculture and is a font of knowledge in the sector. Beccy has been placing arborists at all levels for two decades and, along with Kate (me - a relative newby) can advise on career paths and may have just the job for you on the books! If you have any queries we can help with in the meantime, or if you're not able to come and have questions, drop them in below and we'll be in touch.

At APF 2022, in collaboration with Keely at Tree Life AC, we are offering information, support and two amazing prizes for the Arboriculture community. Our theme for the show is – 'Supporting arborists in creating a long and satisfying career in trees'. We want to help the aspiring Arborist who is aiming to get off the tools and head into their first technical role - working with trees, but from the ground. We know from many years in the industry talking to arb employers that the PTI is the course that helps consolidate a climbing Arborists’ CV The PTI (Professional Tree Inspector) is a 3-day course which is respected throughout the industry. In combination with a Level 3 in Arboriculture it gets you the leg up to an interview for a technical post - from climber to tree surveyor/tree officer and beyond. Now’s not the time? Not sure whether you’re ready? Or already have a PTI? Never fear – we are also offering a one-day Fungi course – another useful arb qualification. The prizes are being offered by Tree Life in collaboration with us and they are both courses which will support Arborists on their career path and other technical positions. For a chance to WIN either a Professional Tree Inspector course or a Fungi Recognition and Response course All you have to do is: TO ENTER: Either drop us a line at [email protected], follow and message us on Instagram or LinkedIn, or pop along at the show and say hello. That’s all! Once we’ve said hello back and had a short conversation, we’ll pop your name in the pot and you’ll be in with a chance to win. *Small print: The course financial values are £450+vat and £120+vat respectively but it’s the value to a career we’re interested in.

Hey all, undertaking the PTI this week - quite nervous; I've been cracking the books and just wanted a bit of input! I've been through many threads on the forum reg. the PTI, I think I just want a bit of reassurance ! My focus areas have been: The Axiom of uniform stress, and the minimum lever arm (as well as running back through The Body Language of Trees, (t/R .etc)) Tree inspectors and land owner's duty of care (plundering a bit of case law) Fungi idents Tree idents Brushing up on basic biology and physiology And I'll be out in the field undertaking personal surveys of my own this weekend. Anything I've missed? I know two people who have passed first time and I'd like to get it done right first go round.
