Training & Education
Wildlife Danger Tree Assessor's Courses
Three modules of the Wildlife/Danger Tree Assessor's Course currently exist. Each course is 2 days in length, involving a mix of classroom and field exercises, and qualifying exams.
All course modules are complementary to one another, consequently persons can upgrade between modules by completing a 1-day upgrade with a qualifying written exam for that particular module.
Further information about course pre-requisites and registration can be found at the University of Northern B.C. or Vancouver Island University (formerly Malaspina) websites.
