Our team holds nationally recognised UK arboricultural certifications that reflect hands-on expertise in chainsaw use, tree climbing, aerial rescue, and the operation of specialised equipment used in modern tree work.
In the UK, professional arborists gain practical credentials through awarding bodies such as City & Guilds and the National Proficiency Tests Council (NPTC). These certifications are widely respected across the sector and serve as a key benchmark for competence in tree surgery.
NPTC Certificates of Competence (CoC) are only granted after candidates successfully pass rigorous practical assessments, confirming their ability to carry out arboricultural tasks safely and in line with established best practices.

Chainsaw maintenance and cross-cutting techniques
Felling and processing trees up to 380mm
Felling trees between 380mm and 760mm
Managing windblown or storm-damaged trees
