Old chainsaw ticket still valid??

[liam]

I took my chainsaw tickets quite awhile ago (about 15 years) and have been using a chainsaw nearly my whole working life, on my card i have cs 10-14 and cs 38. do i need to take a new course to up date it so i get cs 30 etc? hope someone can help and maybe suggest a trainer:thumbup:

Still perfectly valid as far as I'm aware - my card has them units on.

mine too and mine was updated in 2004 with extra units

still valid but updates are recommended and a lot of employers would still recognise then but a lot would want or need you to do some kind of update

some do the lantra some do inhouse some just add next unit up ie if you had small felling then put you through medium:thumbup:

Could try Rob Blake near bridgewater - did some training for CS38/9 with him a while back.

If you work for the council or similar they insist you refresh,but on private work you dont need to.

Also try Kensey Training, Lynher Training both in the SW

 

We have to refresh every three years in my job

How come, what do you do?

Training - its company policy - they are VERY H&S conscious

 

Its mainly to cover people who dont use tools often - but the rule applies to us all - so we have to do it - despite the fact I teach!
