Please note: Candidates will complete practical tasks at our nearby woodland site. This will require candidates to make their own way over and will therefore require a means of transport. Please contact us if this will not be possible.

Candidates need to have previously attended the Chainsaw Maintenance, Crosscutting & Felling course and/or hold CS30 & CS31 qualification.

Candidates should arrive 15 minutes prior to the scheduled course in preparation for a prompt start and bring a waterproof coat and reading glasses if required. Please note refresher courses will not cover all aspects in the same detail as a course of a longer duration.

For the practical element, please ensure that there is a workspace with vices [at least one vice per two candidates], maintenance tools and a supply of fallen timber for the crosscutting. 

In relation to the felling practical, we will require at least X8 trees per candidate of varying diameter (50-380mm) with full vehicular access to the woodlands in case of an emergency.

Candidates will need to bring PPE and chainsaw with a bar length of no more than 15", (please avoid using a new chain as sharpening is required during the course). Please refer to the kit list for a full list of items (link below). Candidates will also need to have a personal first aid bleed kit.
