About
Tree climbing is an essential part of an Arborist's work, however, working at height can be dangerous.
Falls from height are one of the biggest causes of deaths and major injuries in the workplace.
This version of our Access a Tree Using a Rope and Harness course has been developed for learners in Asia and while it meets Lantra's high standards for training it does not meet the requirements for UK operators who are required to undertake a regulated qualification to demonstrate competence.
The finer details
This is an integrated training and assessment course.
You'll receive a certificate of competance once completed.
Worth noting: Inexperienced operators might need more time to fully master all the elements of our course.
