  Learning Objectives:

  The attendee will:
  develop a general understanding of the risk context within which the structural condition of trees is considered
  develop an understanding of the Quantified Tree Risk Assessment (QTRA) method and be able to apply it to the risk assessment of groups of trees and individual trees
  be instructed in the use of the QTRA manual calculator, which will be provided to all trainees
  be instructed in the use of the QTRA calculator program, which will be provided to all trainees who successfully complete the training
  calibrate their ‘Likelihood of Tree Failure’ estimates with other trainees
  be able to inform risk management decisions using the QTRA Risk Thresholds
  develop a repeatable approach to the assessment of tree structure from the broad assessment of a tree population to the investigation of a tree
  develop an understanding of those attributes of the tree that inform the recognition and evaluation of tree structure, stability, and tree health in relation to tree structure
  physiological condition and Indicators of vitality
  basic anatomy of wood tissues and of vascular connectivity
  structural optimisation in trees
  compartmentalisation of decay and dysfunction
  develop an understanding of environmental factors that might affect tree structure, their visible indicators and possible consequences
  recognise external indicators of structural modifications in the tree, e.g.
  decay compensatory growth in the form of both primary shoot development and secondary thickening
