CS30/31 training centres near Bedford plz?

[odd_bird]

I'm struggling to find a reasonably priced one...

 

Shuttelworth college - too expensive with a poor feedback..

St.Albans (Oaklands college) - only do CS30 and that would be £350

Enfield ( Capel Manor) - whopping £885!

 

Please suggest any other places nearby...ThanX

I know someone who did CS31 at Oaklands. I think they pass you onto they guy who does the CS30 directly to do 31. Can't think of anywhere else that you could go. I guess their must be a shortage of sites hence the price. I've just put together a windblown course 34/35 with a member on here and we paid 450 quid for both course combined.

 

Have you tried BTS training?

sounds like a good business opportunity eh?

I haven't tried BTS but will check them out next week! Cheers!

p.s. I spoke to Oaklands last week and they said they only do CS30..weird...

ive already said the badger hill test centre in maulden should do them. they are the regional test centre for nptc,

 

i also believe cleartrack/salceys near milton keynes tried dabbling a few years back?

I done mine at shuttleworth and I couldn't recommend them more I found them very good

Thanx John. E-mailed them at the Badger Hill and will speak to Salcey next week although there is nothing mentioned on their website. I've got you wrong in the previous post..I thought you were saying that the Badger Hill were the part of Shuttelworth blond brain

[john dawson]

oi!! im also blonde! although that would explain a few things!!

 

as far as i know, the badger hill do work with shuttleworth in some form or another, just not sure how?

 

i looked at a cs34 with salceys a few years back, just never got round to it.

 

although im actualy thinking moulton college at northampton is also a good place, maybe 20 mins drive away?

Shuttleworth are always tellling me how inexpensive they are - might be worth another call and say that James from Husqvarna recommended them ;o)

Oaklands do CS30 may offer 31 now as i've noticed some thinning work in the woods that edge their site. They alway use to pass the 31 stuff onto a guys name who i can't remember. Friend of mine did their CS30 there found it quite good.

 

Caple are quite good just outside Herts really but so close worth considering.

I did my CS30 there a long time ago. There was a guy who lived in St. Albans who ran chainsaw courses but i can't seem to find his website.
