Default Re: HELP!! - Wikipedia Definition of "Arborist"

Well siad Ekka however the clause in America that we don't have here is qualified V certified. Qualified extends any courtesy to a man working on tree material Certified suggests passing a test. Different in many ways from our laws but similar to nursing whereby a degree can be completed but a further certification must be aquired. This enables a BODY like Q build to monitor further learning. Which I totally adhere to. We as professionals are like vets... we work on many different types of lives and yet in no way are asked to show proof of our understanding of said subjects. Closer scrutiny must be paid by a singular governing authority to control our work methods as with carpentry, nursing, electricians, etc. We have no such body as yet so no controlling factor of work methodology. hence lax laws
