Recommended Posts

Hi there we are based in south wales pontypool and we are looking for training for 2 men on basic chainsaw cross cutting. We run a sawmill and cut logs to size that are clamped up on our loader and maybe do about 10 cuts a day . was wondering if there is a basic course for cutting the logs both men have full chainsaw ppe and have been using chainsaws i was just wondering if there was a basic course or training out there for them

thanks for the help

The NPTC/City and Guilds and LANTRA courses are both two days. 

One day, Health & Safety, SSRA, stripping down and maintaining the saw etc, day two cross cutting.

They will both be recognised by Insurance in the event of an accident, Micky Mouse Training Provider LTD’s certificate won’t.

If you have a workshop and cutting material you could get a LANTRA Instructor to come to you or download the NPTC assessment schedule and arrange an NPTC Assessor to come when you know the schedule requirements.

We are also a sawmill and have used Didac of Bristol.  They do a crosscutting and maintenance course in one day and will come to your premises to do it - but you will need to provide a saw with correct safety features and all correct PPE and of course logs to cut.  The cost is around £500 and this is for up to four delegates, so it is economical - if they still do it.

Hi me and a mate looked into becoming trainers yrs ago and unless something has changed , if you have a chainsaw ticked you are qualified to teach one on one so just find the required notes on what they need and go through it with them then call in an assessor, cross cutting and maintenance is easy , disassemble clean reassemble identify type of chain and file needed sharpen and then cut some logs up .easy
