done all the other paperwork just need to pass this, any tips. also does any1 know if i can just do unit 30 at first, or if i have to do 30,31, and 32 at one hit?

I may be a bit out of date, but as it used to stand..you are tech evaluated for 30, 31 and 32 together. The fells are 3 x small trees followed by 2 x medium. Good luck!

Good advice as above you will need to be able to recognise pitches gauge manufacture top plate filing angle side plate on numerous chains profiles aswell!

Then there is the health and safety

From puwer loler mhswa faw crow dsear riddor ppe risk assessment and a few more to mention the list goes on! You will need to show a good level of knowledge on all and more !

Then the felling

You will need to be spot on no really spot on withe the single back cut, split level and dogs tooth! Body position is a good one to remember !

Winching and the configurations of slings safe working loads, work load limits and so on this is even more important on the medium felling aspect!

Hope you find this little bit of info helpful I don't want to go into it to deeply

Good luck with the process it's great fun even the role playing of assessor candidate! It does not prepare you for the real thing in the slightest! Ie big burly men turning aggressive against you when you fail them or having a grown man crying his eyes out on your shoulder !

Any way have fun! If I can be of anymore help or you need advice pm me!

Many thanks !!
