CLAUS MATTHECK WORKSHOP ORGANISED BY SYMBIOSIS 21 – 24 MAY 2007
The workshop is based upon similar training and assessment courses that Claus has previously run in Singapore and is aimed at experienced practitioners who are already reasonably familiar with the concept and principles of visual tree assessment.
To ensure that all participants have the opportunity to discuss the subject trees directly with Claus and thus derive the greatest benefit from the training, numbers will be strictly limited to a maximum of sixteen delegates. The first day will consist of indoor lectures at the Field Head Hotel, Markfield, near Leicester introducing a new VTA field guide in the morning and covering tree engineering aspects in the afternoon. The following three days will be spent in the field, primarily in the historic Bradgate Deer Park and adjacent woodlands, and include practical exercises on symptom detection, defect confirmation and evaluation, failure analysis of broken or windthrown trees, and the selection and detailing of mechanical aids. Delegates will be subject to an oral examination during the final day and, upon satisfactory completion of this, will obtain a certificate confirming their status as a ‘VTA user with intensive elite training’. Delegates will also receive a suite of relevant books by Claus. Due to the limited number of delegates we can accommodate, the cost will be £1500 plus VAT per delegate (non-residential) but we are offering a 10% discount for early bookings. |
