Basic Tree Survey & Inspection

The Basic Tree Survey & Inspection course is for people who need to identify hazardous trees as part of their job. It's a one-year non-degree program in arboriculture at Berkshire College of Agriculture in the United Kingdom. The main advantage is that students learn to apply their knowledge in real-world situations.

Students learn about health and safety protocols, risk assessment, and the legal framework surrounding tree inspections. They also participate in practical sessions outdoors to identify hazardous trees. This hands-on approach helps learners develop essential skills.

Graduates can work as tree inspectors, park rangers, or forestry workers. They can also work in local government or land management. Some specific job titles include tree care specialist, arborist, and environmental consultant.
