I would echo Edmunds points below, especially those relating to professional 
qualification and CPD. In many instances there is no substitute for 
experience, which inevitably is what you gain five minutes after needing it. 
Know your limitations and when to ask for help but get stuck in 

Good luck

Morning Tony

I do hope you get a good long thread to this question because the answers and 
tips will be of wide benefit, and I dare say all the grey eminences here 
started up as one man band beginners.

I will not belittle professional qualifications, we all recognise they are 
the way to go, as individuals and more importantly to the business of 
arboriculture at large, and the subject gets a good thrashing here from time 
to time, but if I was you I'd just get stuck in, and pick up the cpd as you 
go, with the sole exception of getting a report writing course under your 
belt.

As to gear, rent it, or price it into the right quote, just as you might with 
a big saw.

Edmund
