chainsaw course

[jazz_11]

hello everyone..

my first post on this forum, just thought i would introduce myself here ..

im 19 currently studying countryside land management In south wales.. part of the course which i chose to do was a nvq in forrestry... while doing this course we are looking to pass our chainsaw course throughout the two years..

i have been lucky and have been given the chance to do it this week ( started today) during half term , im only the 2nd person on my course to do it so far. today was good very interesting managed to do a bit of *make belief* cutting as the instructor liked to call it at the end of the day just to check the saws were all working well.. all in all very intersting and cant wait for tomorrow where we are cutting all day..

any tips for the course?

thanks

Hi Jazz,

Just listen to everything your told, if you have any questions (however stupid you think they are)just ask and you should be fine.

Good luck with the course.

Guss109 - where did you do your course if you don't mind me asking? And would you recommend them to others?

 

I'm in Banchory, hence the interest...
