Tree surgeon qualification

wellmade2040

Hi all , not sure if this is the right place to post this but hopefully it is,

I'm 21 , did two years of a college degree and hated it , currently working a good office job but I've been here a year and can't see myself staying here ,

What I basically want to know is ,

How hard and how expensive is it to become qualified to work with a tree surgeon , I have looked at the coillte courses and tree care Ireland , but there seems to be endless amounts of 1-5 day courses , and I am unsure as to how to go about getting the correct qualifications to give me an opportunity to apply to work with tree care companies.

I have a full driving licence already , from what I've seen that seems to be a fairly important requirement for most of the tree care job positions,

I appreciate any information or advice that anyone can give me

Thanks

you should make contact with Marianne Lyons in teagasc she runs a forestry coarse up in ballyhaise but she would set you on the right track
