These two courses combine training and assessment, and candidates who achieve an acceptable standard will be awarded a Lantra Awards Certificate of Training which is valid for 5 years. More Details ...

COURSES FOR PROFESSIONAL USERS (LANTRA course leading to NPTC assessment)

This route is intended for someone who anticipates seeking contractual work in professional forestry, amenity or arboricultural activities which is likely, immediately or at some future date, to involve felling trees over 200mm (8") in diameter, and/or aerial tree work. More Details ...

REFRESHER COURSES
