WP2 A6 Study Visit - Monitoring of Theoretical Component Arbor Technical Institute Kreitl

March 23-24, 2023
We participated in the recertification and certification of the ETW (European Tree Worker) exam organized by the Arbor Technical Institute Kreitl in collaboration with the EAC.

On the first day, we began by observing candidates retaking exam sections they had not previously passed, then familiarized ourselves with the procedures and organization of the exam. The exam included both theoretical and practical components, covering written, dendrological, and oral tests.

The second day started with setting up exam stations and simulations. Our team monitored the exam process, with Goran serving as a co-supervisor. Each candidate progressed through different exam stations, with the oral portion lasting between 15 and 20 minutes.

In addition to observing the exam flow, this study visit provided valuable insights into procedures that ensure certification quality and standards.
