Your Pathway to the Hong Kong Tree Management Personnel Registration Scheme!

Are you looking to advance your arboriculture career in Hong Kong? Achieving the European Tree Worker (ETW) certification fulfills the “Professional Qualifications” requirement for registering as an Arborist or Tree Risk Assessor under the HKSAR Government’s Tree Management Personnel Registration Scheme. Earning this internationally recognized diploma is one of the most effective ways to elevate your professional status and secure a competitive edge in the local industry.

What is a European Tree Worker?

The European Tree Worker carries out vital operations on amenity trees with the primary aim of keeping them healthy and safe. They act on a solid foundation of arboricultural knowledge, strictly taking conservation matters, environmental protection, and safety regulations into account. Tree care operations demand profound, highly qualified training with a specialized focus on work safety.

Developed between 1996 and 1999 within the framework of the European Leonardo da Vinci Programme, the ETW diploma was created to harmonize the highly specialized field of tree care across Europe. It is the first diploma of its kind based on unified exam regulations, ensuring cross-border quality and facilitating international exchange.

Core Objectives of the ETW Programme
  • To ensure high-quality work and training in tree care operations.
  • To guarantee a safe working environment according to best working practices and European standards.
  • To promote the international exchange of tree workers.
  • To enable fair competition and improve chances in wide-scale invitations to tender within the arboriculture field.

Note: ETW certification is rigorously proofed and controlled by the European Arboricultural Council (EAC), with exams supervised by an international EAC supervisor.
