I did my cross-cut and chainsaw maintenance (CS30) at Plumpton College, which was good, but having just completed the small tree felling course (CS31) with Arbsystem, I wish I had done them both here, it's really improved my confidence and skill with a chainsaw massively. The set up at Arbsystem's base is great and the felling sites are proper woodland sites so you get real world experience, the instructors are really friendly, knowledgeable and build your confidence whatever your starting level. If I decide to do the next level course I will be definitely coming back here! Thanks again for a really enjoyable few days.
James MacdonaldI recently completed a climbing and aerial rescue course at arbsystem . I felt supported and challenged this week.

Sorin VatavuGillion is very knowledgeable and very friendly. Great for experienced arborists and people just getting into it. Great training sights, would definitely recommend to anybody.
Huwie BearThis was an amazingly comprehensive and supportive course. The guys took me from being a complete novice to passing both chainsaw and felling tickets. Dan and Ross were incredibly supportive and patient, both really knowledgeable. Gil is such an encouraging and supportive assessor. I can’t recommend them highly enough! Thank you so much.
Naomi CollettGreat and functional setup, experienced instructors and very profesional through and through. Got good value for my money and I have already booked my next course here.
Martin NordinI thoroughly enjoyed my week long course, which brought me from zero to a certification in chainsaw maintenance, cross cutting and small tree felling. The learning environment is pleasant and relaxed. I was incredibly nervous before the assessment but Gillon's approach helped me to be calm and stay focused on the task. Gillon also went out of his way to accommodate the special requirements I had due to my religious beliefs. Highly recommended.
Regena I've been going to arm system for a fue years know, every time I leave a course I come out feeling more committed to working with better understanding of a certain thing. I have made a great effort in coming back.
Hugo TibbittsBy far the best instructor I've had. Explains everything in a very digestible way and an all round nice bloke. As for the whereabouts...easy to get to, a nice plantation with many a tree to work from and a cabin with tea and coffee to keep ya warm when it's cold. Will do all other tickets here. Cheers Gil!
George ThreadinghamAwesome and friendly staff... and lovely setting! I'll be coming back for more training 😀
