You can become an ISA certified arborist which is a multi choice question and you have to have three or four years of experience in arboriculture doing that.

I’m Sam and im a contract supervisor here at Treetech.

I began my on the on the job training with the company about 4 and a half years ago and since then I’m a qualified arborist.

It took just over 3 years to complete my apprenticeship and as I said I’m now a qualified arborist and I look forward to the progression that we have here in the company.

I just like the physical aspects of the work we do, particularly climbing trees. You have to have a bit of a spark and an interest for the natural environment and a bit of love and passion to care for what we have existing here in our natural scape in Christchurch.
