Arboriculture
Arboriculture, is a specialised field involving pruning, felling, transplanting and maintaining the health of trees and shrubs. If you love working outdoors and want a hands-on, physical job, you could become a qualified Tree Surgeon with our qualification.
Our Arboriculture course will give you the skills to care for and maintain trees – no matter what their height. The horticulture industry is diverse and qualified, experienced arborists are in demand, not only in this country but across the world.
The best part about studying with us is the hands-on way you will learn. Field trips and work experience are important parts of this qualification and will help you to connect with those already working in this dynamic industry.
If you’re dreaming of an outdoor career filled with challenges and excitement (and can handle heights), then arboriculture might be just right for you!
