Looking for chainsaw courses. Scottish Borders.

Looking to do my CS30/31 soon and I am trying to find somewhere that isn't a 4-5 month wait. Tried H&W but they are end of August until they have a space unfortunately.

Treevolution at Broxburn have places available on 1st August if not too far to travel.

And it is (a bit) less than 4 months!

I'm on the Durham/Northumberland border and I got on with Land Based Training (NPTC City and Guilds) for early August. Couldn't find anything anywhere sooner than that. If you've been offered a August the 1st place, I'd take it.

Actually booked it at H&W Training last night in Dumfries for the 22nd, it was £900 for the 6 days instead of 1050 at Treevolution, almost the same distance away (kind of).

Treevolution are good, Chris that runs it certainly knows his stuff but I've not heard much about H&W. At least you've got a date for it, hope you enjoy it.
