Learning Outcomes

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to examine and assess tree health, structure, age, taxonomy, risk, amenity value and significance, and compile a tree assessment report. The unit applies to individuals who work in arboriculture and analyse information and exercise judgement to complete a range of advanced skilled activities and demonstrate deep knowledge in a specific technical area. They have accountability for the work of others and analyse, design and communicate solutions to a range of complex problems. Legislation, regulations and by-laws relating to the treatment and removal of trees apply in some states and territories.
