Evening all!

 

I will probably make some separate posts in the proper forums but thought I’d start with an intro!

 

Currently serving in the Army and I’m looking to start picking up some of the basics of this industry - initially just looking at personal/hobby use of a chainsaw for woodworking projects, but I would be very keen to get unpaid weekend experience in the wider industry as this is something I would like to consider as a job once I leave the forces.

 

Any advice or letting me know the best places to look on the forums would be greatly appreciated!

 

Mike

Hi Mike,

 

Have you looked into the training you can get through the army?  Theres a few sponsors on Arbtalk who offer this.

 

Welcome to the forum

Hi Steve,

 

I think your referring to courses that you can use enhanced learning credits for? If so I’m aware that they exist however I’m not really at that stage yet. I don’t plan on leaving the army any time soon, I’ve just got my eye on the future and want to start doing something in my spare time that isn’t computer related!

 

My rough plan is to get the quals and training needed to be able to use a chainsaw without taking my legs off and just try and gain some ad hoc experience working at weekends. Getting paid for this work isn’t an issue so I just want to get the quals where I could be a useful hand on site and gain some practical experience rather than just making brews!
