VETcert is an EU funded project aiming at harmonising skills and knowledge recognition in veteran tree management. This was done by defining a common European minimum skills and knowledge level for professionals in veteran tree management. A certification scheme was developed at 2 operational levels: practicing and consulting tree work.

The development project ran from December 2016 to October 2019. VETcert is now operational in several European countries.

Search for certified VETcert specialists and the upcoming certification events calendar are now hosted on the portal of the European Arboricultural Council e. V. (EAC), a German non-profit organisation that operates VETcert together with the VETcert Steering Group. Visit the EAC public register or upcoming certification events directly on the portal.
