Description


This is a hands-on course that delivers both practical skills and health and safety guidance. We keep the training groups small so that you'll receive plenty of individual attention from our experienced instructors throughout the process. This course is for those who wish to progress to the regulated assessment which acts as a license to practice. You'll also learn how to keep yourself protected every step of the way. You'll learn all the theory needed to use and keep a chainsaw running safely, with key sessions covering saw chain, guide bar, and power unit maintenance. And you'll gain hands-on experience of starting a chainsaw, run through all the pre-cutting tests and learn the skills needed to expertly cross-cut timber. Worth noting: Chainsaws are powerful and potentially dangerous tools, so you'll need a minimum level of fitness to be able to complete the practical side of the training.
