Lantra BTI Basic Tree Survey & Inspection

  • BERKSHIRE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE
  • ENTRY

Course Overview

This training is designed to equip learners with the skills to identify potentially hazardous trees as part of their everyday duties and to report concerns to the appropriate person. No prior in-depth knowledge of tree biology, legislation, or specialized arboriculture is required.

It is important to note that detailed tree inspections to assess tree health or condition must be carried out by trained and competent professionals. Such inspections may require specialist equipment and expertise in areas such as biomechanics, pathology, and relevant legislation.

This course is suitable for a wide range of learners, including:
Local authority highway inspectors
Forestry, woodland, or arboricultural workers
Park rangers or estate staff
Farmers and landowners
Employees responsible for trees in the course of their work
Volunteers who work with trees

By completing this course, you will gain the confidence to recognise signs of potential hazards and take the appropriate steps to ensure safety, supporting a safer environment for everyone.

Please contact us on training@windsor-forest.ac.uk for further information.

We also offer this as a private course on your site.

Although this training course is mostly classroom based, trainees will be expected to be able to look at a range of trees outside to develop some of the ideas discussed in the classroom. Individuals with mobility problems or any medical condition that could impair their own health and safety must report to the instructor prior to starting the course.

We’ll guide you through the process with
a balanced mix of theory and practice.

A practical session identifying hazardous
trees will also form part of the course.
