Using the Quantified Tree Risk Assessment system, assessment of the same tree by different inspectors not trained to a unifying standard has produced variable results, comparison of which indicates that training in use of the system is essential if consistent application of the data is to be assured. Additionally, tree safety inspection generally lacks a consistent and unified methodology, and the training of personnel involved in the inspection and assessment of trees is in need of standardisation.

Cheshire Woodlands has developed a two-day training programme, satisfactory completion of which is required obtain a licence to use the Quantified Tree Risk Assessment system.
