Step Up to Arboriculture Management & Supervisory Roles

If you have mastered frontline tree care operations and are ready to advance to junior or middle management, or take on a supervisory role (such as a Tree Work Supervisor under the HK Registration Scheme), the European Tree Technician (ETT) certification is the crucial next step in your career progression.

What is a European Tree Technician?

A European Tree Technician is a highly skilled professional employed in, or aspiring to, management and supervisory positions within arboriculture. ETTs are experts in operations on amenity trees, ensuring they remain healthy and safe while carefully balancing the demands of biodiversity. In their practice, ETTs act strictly on the basis of current best practices within arboriculture, conservation, environmental protection, and work safety. Beyond fieldwork, their core competence heavily relies on advanced technical knowledge, organizational prowess, and supervisory skills.
