This course is for individuals who operate and carry out felling and processing of medium size trees over 380mm and up to 760mm as part of their work in arboriculture, forestry or other industries. It will provide the individual with the knowledge, understanding and skills required to carry out this work.

Candidates must have achieved the 0039-20 Level 2 Certificate of Competence in Chainsaw Maintenance and Cross-Cutting and the 0039-21 Level 2 Certificate of Competence in Felling Small Trees up to 380mm (or equivalent versions). Verification of this must be produced prior to the start of the course.

The course covers hazards, risks, controls, emergency procedures, legislation and industry good practice in felling and processing medium size trees over 380mm and up to 760mm. 

This course will be delivered on-site.

All specialist safety clothing, chainsaws and ancillary tools can be provided by the College, for which a fee will be charged.

Candidates may use their own chainsaw providing that it complies with current legislation.

Please note that equipment is not available for hire for the assessment. You will therefore need to have other arrangements in place for your assessment.
