Arboriculture student, Zac says:
“The teachers are great. It’s a very supportive environment and the tutors have a lot of experience and an amazing wealth of knowledge.
“The course has a good blend of practical and theory, which has been really beneficial. I do enjoy the theory side but for me it would have been lacking if I’d just done A Levels and missed out on the practical experience.”
