• Nationally Recognised Training: Unit of Competency courses and Cert. II in Horticulture (Arboriculture) 
• Industry Specific Training: Professional training courses tailored to your organisation’s requirements

Changes to the TMI Team

“We would like to offer a very warm thank-you to Rob Bodenstaff who decided in late 2011 to move on from TMI. We wish Rob all the best as he continues to be a firm supporter of advancing Arboriculture in Western Australia and beyond. Please see Rob’s departure letter below.”

“Dear Colleagues,

RE: Resignation of Rob Bodenstaff from TMI

I am leaving TMI in the capable hands of Steve Kneebone and Brad Bowden to continue providing benchmark levels of education and training in Arboriculture in WA.

I will continue to be an advocate for arboriculture; but simply not in the capacity of a director of TMI.

We all look forward to your continued support.

Best regards”

ROB BODENSTAFF
