Course overview
This training is designed only to help you recognise hazardous trees as part of your other duties and then report what has been seen to an appropriate person. It is not expected that you will have a detailed knowledge of tree biology, legislation or any other specific arboricultural specialism.The job of carrying out a detailed tree inspection to determine its condition must be done by someone trained and competent to do so. Specialist equipment may be needed as well as knowledge of, and competence in, biomechanics, pathology and legislation. Although this training course is mostly classroom based, you will be expected to be able to look at a range of trees outside to develop some of the ideas discussed in the classroom.
