Professional Tree Inspection Course
Format of the course:
The three-day course aims to provide specific tree inspection
programme at an advanced level for competent Arboriculturists to enable
them to reach a level of competence that can be recognised as having
received adequate training.
Candidates are required to inspect trees and specify the necessary
remedial works and record the inspection process. This would then form
part of a defensible system. The course is not aimed at covering report
writing however, presentation of findings will be examined and advice
given.
As a pre-requisite of attending the course it is fully expected
that you will have a detailed knowledge of tree biology, the tree as an
undamaged self-optimised structure, biological and mechanical
weaknesses, pathology, legislation, remedial options and their likely
implications and the British Standard 3998 Recommendations for Treework.
Also any other specific arboricultural knowledge such as may affect
detection and measurement of tree defects and recommendation of control
measures that reduce the risk posed to an acceptable level.
It is also an opportunity for candidates to update their level of
knowledge and its application to inspecting trees particularly if that
previous knowledge was gained sometime ago.
Assessment:
The objectives of the course will be assessed, by written question
paper, fungi identification and practical tree inspection. At the
end of the course candidates will undertake a competence based
assessment directly related to tree inspection.
The pass mark for the test is 70% overall and 70% in each of the
two tree inspections.
