Raising the standard
Our commitment to high standards is backed up by our own training division BTS Training, which offers nationally accredited courses for the arboriculture industry.
About
BTS Training offer a broad based, comprehensive range of Arboriculture and Utility Arboriculture nationally accredited courses and assessments, to include all aspects of health and safety training for both the professional and occasional tree worker from climber to groundsman.
We have a dedicated training ground with a training room, workshop and extensive woodland for trainees to practice their skills with qualified trainers and assessors.
There is also a simulated HV and LV overhead power line that will enable the Utility Arboriculture trainees to practice in a safe environment.
BTS Training are a registered training provider for the Lantra National Training Organisation and are able to deliver a wide range of technical awards.
BTS Training are also part of an accredited assessment centre for the National Proficiency Test Council, which enables us to offer a wide range of NPTC assessments as well as administer all the necessary paperwork directly with NPTC.
Another benefit from within the Group is our on site shop - BTS Equip, offering competitive prices on tools, equipment and PPE - see link for further details.
Equipment for courses is also available to hire.
