Is it right for me?
During the three day course you will gain tree inspection training at an advanced level to enable competent arboriculturists to identify defects from ground level, from a climbed inspection, or inspection aided by the use of a Mobile Elevated Working Platform. The course provides training in how to specify the necessary remedial works and record the inspection process. This would then form part of a defensible system. At the end of the course candidates will undertake a competence based assessment directly related to tree inspection. The course is not aimed at covering report writing, however presentation of findings will be examined and advice given.
