The management of trees and woodland is critically important for the sustainable development of our countryside, urban spaces, leisure pursuits and for conservation.
Using a combination of on and off-site facilities, we provide training for the people who will manage and work in our forestry industries for timber production as well as those who look after and manage individual trees in parks, streets and private gardens. Learning from experts in the field, our students will acquire all the practical and scientific skills to work in the industry or to study at an advanced level.
Our students enjoy access to key NPTC and City & Guilds short courses required by the industry which are delivered both on and off-site – giving them a head start in employment.
“Before moving into education, I spent several years working in commercial arboriculture. I am passionate about developing students to a high standard of competence in arboricultural skills including the safe use of tools and machinery, tree climbing, site management and risk assessments.
Alongside technical training, I aim to build students’ confidence in business skills while developing an appreciation of nature and the positive role arboriculture can play within communities.”
"I would describe the course as extremely worth it. It builds up every part of you physically, mentally and it's really good at building your confidence, not only in industry but academically."
