Study for RFS Professional Diploma and AA Arboricultural Technicians Certificate and Other Qualifications


Since its inception in 1997, Treelife has become synonymous with the best independent arboricultural training provision in the UK, providing education at such venues as Westonbirt Arboretum and the University of East Anglia.

Training towards the Technician’s Certificate and the Professional Diploma has become the mainstay of the company, together with short courses ranging from tree surveys and inspections to an appreciation of the importance of bats. Treelife prides itself on being an organization which practices as well as preaches continuous professional development.

David Dowson, the founder of Treelife, has set a standard of training which remains unrivalled. He was joined in 2004 by Andy Summerley, who shares the same educational values and beliefs.

The continuing improvement and development of Arboriculture as both an industry and a profession is also a subject close to the heart of Barcham Trees. As suppliers, we are passionate about the survival of our trees. Since their well-being is founded in the knowledge and understanding of those charged with their care we are also committed to the improvement of that knowledge.

With this in mind we have recently completed the construction of a new training facility at our Cambridgeshire nursery, which is being used by Treelife to provide its brand of day release courses, preparing candidates to gain their qualifications.The Technician’s Certificate has become established as the qualification of choice for those wishing to progress from ‘hands on’ tree maintenance towards a career as a Tree Officer or Supervisor, while the Professional Diploma remains the premier qualification for consultants and managers. Training towards both these qualifications will be offered by Treelife at Barcham Trees from September 2007 and with its central location in the eastern half of the country and easily accessible from central London it is hoped that candidates from all over will be able to benefit from this provision.

Courses offered:R.F.S Professional Diploma (Prof dip) (level 6)AA Technician’s Certificate (Tech Cert) ( level 3)RFS Certificate ( level 2) For further details of the courses, please visit www.treelifetraining.co.uk or contact Andy Summerley on or contact Barcham Trees on.
