[j_s]

Assisted felling. Isn't it basically CS34(windblown) for small trees up to 15"?

Why CS50? - cheaper than doing CS32 and CS34.

Hi all

 

So as to set the record strait about CS50. It is indeed a chimera of several existin quals, and some eliments of the national occupational standard (NOS) that were not put in to other cs quals as they did not fit. (the NOS is the government 'standard for education of certain skills and knowleeg ours falls under trees and timber)

 

It is critical to note that CS50 is critically size limited, and risk limited, but does have assisted felling in it which does not really exist else where.

 

It was concived folowing a number of issues arround a certain training organisation delivering training in to the highways sector and the HSE being a little less than impressed with what was being provided.

 

so bear in mind it is aimed at highways sector, is size limited and risk limited and is NOT a replacment for CS34/35.

 

As for us at BTS training not running one, we have in house trainers and assessors willing to run one but as with all of the wind blown cources getting the sites is always hard so soon as we get a site we will put a cource on so always worth having your name added to the list.

 

hope that helps

 

cheers
