I was under the impression that no one under 16 years old could use a chainsaw in a work environment.

i thought that also but upon reading the HSE guidelines on this which states

 

Young workers

A young person is anyone under 18 and a child is anyone who has not yet reached

the official minimum school leaving age which may be just before, on, or just after

their 16th birthday.

Employers are responsible for ensuring a young person is not exposed to risk due to

lack of experience, being unaware of existing or potential risks or a lack of maturity.

You must let the parents/guardians of any child know the key findings of the risk

assessment and the control measures put in place before the child starts work or

work experience.

 

but what you can't do is undertake training courses and assessment for your tickets

I wouldn't mind some of those myself.

The link sends me to to where they are £118 though and not £50.

Deal finished perhaps?

IIRC you can at 15 during the summer holidays if you are 16 before the autumn term starts.
