Learners should have completed the Chainsaw Maintenance, Cross-Cutting prior to completing the Chainsaw Basic Felling Techniques (up to 200mm diameter). Our course is a balanced mix of theory and practice. You'll be guided through all the relevant health and safety guidelines to ensure you stay protected on the job.

Course sessions: • HSE legislation and safety guidelines • Preparation • Felling techniques • Branch removal – snedding and de-limbing • Taking down hung-up trees using hand tools • Clearing site and chainsaw checks.
