has anyone got it ? is it worth while having ?

CS45 is Arboricultural Groundworker i believe - i personally do not hold this unit, but i am under the impression that if a climber holds CS41 (dismantling) then CS45 is not required as CS41 covers all the climbing side of rigging and dismantling, as well as the groundwork.

 

CS45 is a qualification intended to train ground workers to rig and lower pieces as the climber cuts them. So, the answer to ur question is - if you are not a climber and have no intentions of ever climbing but you want to learn and get qualified to lower sections of wood then it is ideal. If you are a climber or intend to become one, just do CS41 mate.

One of my guys got this ticket for £35 during a 40 or 41 assesment which ever it is. I think its worthwhile to get proper training on lowering devices and a ticket if its cheap. Better than learning from a climber shouting instructions from the tree. Also if ever there was an accident its further evidence of proper training.

 

He was however the first guy to do it with the training centre so they probably don't do many
