Objectives
A popular chainsaw training course for those wanting to learn about chainsaws for the first time or experienced users wanting to formalise their existing knowledge.
This course leads to the City & Guilds NPTC qualification which is the gateway to the entire suite of chainsaw units.
We can also run the Lantra Awards Chainsaw maintenance and cross cutting Integrated Training and Assessment. This is aimed at people who may need to use a chiansaw at work but it is not their main source of work.
