CPD Module in Chainsaw Maintenance and Cross-cutting

This course is for individuals who are qualified chainsaw operators and who, under Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER), are required to have refresher training every three-to-five years.
 

You will have already have a chainsaw maintenance and cross-cutting qualification.

The CPD module will cover the appropriate practical skills required to meet legislation, industry technical standards and industry good practice. 

This course will be delivered on-site.

All specialist safety clothing can be provided by the College, for which a fee is payable.

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

Candidates may use their own chainsaws on the course providing that they comply with current legislation.

It is recommended that candidates do not specifically purchase specialist equipment prior to the course. During the training, advice on the purchase of all specialist equipment will be offered by the course instructor.

Each candidate will complete a skills test which will be scored. Each skills test has a minimum score for the CPD module to be achieved. The assessor will complete a feedback form on the candidate’s performance in the skills test with any recommendations required.

DCG offers a range of one-day, weekend and evening courses relating to Forestry and Tree Surgery and a wide variety of other land-based topics – please see the DCG part-time prospectus for a full list and details.
