Give yourself the edge with our two-day course in handling this powerful but dangerous tool.

​

This is a hands-on course that delivers both practical skills and health and safety guidance. We keep the training groups small so that you'll receive plenty of individual attention from our experienced instructors throughout the process.

​

This course is for those who wish to progress to the regulated assessment which acts as a license to practice. You'll also learn how to keep yourself protected every step of the way.

​

This is a perfect introduction to expertly handling and maintaining a chainsaw. 

​

The course is also ideal if you're looking to work towards a regulated qualification or a Licence to Practice – both are available with our Level 2 Award in Chainsaw Maintenance and Cross-cutting.

​

We work closely with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to ensure both the course's content – and the materials we use – are in line with current safe working practices.

​

You'll learn all the theory needed to use and keep a chainsaw running safely, with key sessions covering saw chain, guide bar, and power unit maintenance.

​

And you'll gain hands-on experience of starting a chainsaw, run through all the pre-cutting tests and learn the skills needed to expertly cross-cut timber.

​

Worth noting: Chainsaws are powerful and potentially dangerous tools, so you'll need a minimum level of fitness to be able to complete the practical side of the training.
