Whats the cost of CS30/31 these days?

Amen to that, don't forget the extremely expensive +f first aid courses.

 

What do you call expensive for a +F first aid courses? I run +F courses at about half the price of what people like St John's charge for their standard courses.

 

Interesting thread - I too have used chainsaws for about 15 years as an extra earner on farms and estates and have many times considered doing training and assessment to make it more legit but can't really make the figures stack up at that rate. I'm usually salvaging timber that would go to waste and getting paid in logs. If what you have been taught gets rid of a bad habit that could have seriously injured you then it's money well spent, but any money spent still has to be found from somewhere......
