DORCHESTER, England: Dorset's foremost land based training providers, Newlands Training (http://www.newlandstraining.com/), are pleased to add a course in Professional Tree Inspection to their range of Forestry, Arboricultural and chain saw training (http://www.newlandstraining.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5_10/) courses.

This 3-day course is a rare opportunity to undertake this professionally recognised course that will enable its trainees to initially identify a range of defects in a variety of trees. It will also provide them with the knowledge to specify and correctly record the necessary course of action.

The course is designed for competent arboriculturists who already carry five years' experience and wish to expand their knowledge to a further, more professional level. The course teaches trainees to recognise problems from the ground, by climbed inspection, or with the aid of a Mobile Elevated Working Platform (MEWP) at an advanced level. Newlands Training's instructors will enable trainees to record the inspection process and recommend the preferred remedial works, all within a defensible system.

On successful completion of a competence-based assessment, trainees will be awarded a Lantra Awards certificate of training in Advanced Tree Inspection.

Lesley Simpson, the training organiser of Newlands Training said, "This is a comprehensive course which pulls together previous training and experience. Both will be needed before enjoying the Professional Tree Inspection course."

The next course will be running on October 5th/6th/7th at Unit 6 Enterprise Park, Piddlehinton near Dorchester. If you wish to take part in this course, Newlands Training requests that you have had five years' experience carrying out tree survey and inspection and carry an arboricultural qualification at level three.
