I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you both. We have had such a lovely day as a family and learnt so many new things. I am very aware of muscles I never knew I had and the marks on my arms from hugging a tree through sheer terror are still very present!!! Such a brilliant day.

The location you have to operate in is stunning and having the beautifully made hut only makes this better. Great fire, great chat, great kit, awesome kettle and amazing experience......
Thank you again and I look forward to tying down the chainsaw course as soon as we can.

'Its been a pleasure over the last couple of weeks meeting and working with you and the SFT team, I've really enjoyed soaking up new information and putting myself through new challenges. Im looking forward to getting through my assessments and see what the future holds for me in the tree world.'

A fantatstic week, I can't fault anything. Every aspect has been thoroughly enjoyable and I've looked forward to the next day. Any questions that I have had, have been answered; if feeling unsure about a cut, guidance was given to make you feel confident with understanding what was needed. I learnt a lot about health and safety and safe working - using good techniques to reduce body strain, insights into the industry, lots of sites to look up to find more information and places to make savings as purchases. It has met my expectations and some.

Fantatsic course, good instructor. Comprehensive knowledge of all aspects covered. Industry usable techniques and realsitic systems to use in conjunction with what is necessary for the assessment.

Extremely clear and concise explanation. Instructor great at putting you at ease/ helping to overcome any fears / anxieties. Liked the aerial demonstrations and 1:1 time. Very informative.
