In a nutshell

Chainsaws have a variety of uses but can potentially cause serious accidents without proper training or because operating skills aren’t up to date. This qualification covers the overall daily and on-going mainteance of a chainsaw, sharpening the saw and cutting timber already felled to ground level. Cross-cutting includes the de-limbing process followed by cutting the tree into management sections.

This course teaches excellent health and safely practice and demonstrates your competency in using a chainsaw.

This qualification is your 'gateway' to other NPTC approved chainsaw qualifications, including the NPTC Felling and Processing Small Trees.

This course is for...

… a career as a landscape gardener, tree surgeon, woodland ranger or any number of outdoor jobs.

… refreshing your skills in maintaining and using a chainsaw.

Course content

This qualification shows you have been independently assessed by the National Proficiency Test Council with regards to current legislation, the fundamentals of chainsaw operation and the safe use and maintenance of chainsaws.

On successful completion, you’ll be able to move on to the NPTC Felling and Processing Small Trees qualification, also offered at Usk Campus.

Entry Requirements

No experience is needed, but you must be aged 19 years or older.

 

This course must be completed before embarking on any other NPTC approved chainsaw qualification.
