Course Summary :
|
This course is intended for those who do not have the need to fell a tree, but do need to use a chainsaw to cut up fallen wood and clear branches.
This is a two day course with integrated assessment. Therefore, there is no formal test after training.
If students have reached a level of skill by the end of two days training they are issued with a Lantra certificate of Basic Training.
Training is carried out on site and the client will need to provide workshop facilities and some fallen wood to practice on.
A legal chainsaw and full safety clothing is required for each student, a list of which can be found below.
Once this qualification has been attained a refresher is required every three to five years.
