So this is an occupation based training centre not a college so generally they expect their trainees to have the necessary equipment to then be able to go on to use it professionally i have just spoke on the phone again to them to clarify a few things. The courses were booked in to be back to back but from what I have read they are quite mentally demanding and a lot to learn so she said she’s happy to reschedule the cs 38 / cs 39 to early next year. this will allow me to take in everything I learn from the beginner chainsaw and ground felling course and use it whilst working for my friend to gain more and more experience and then early next year should be recharged and ready for the more technical aerial work so for now I will only need to get the small list of items I do need to purchase a new chainsaw though suitable for an absolute beginner. I was looking at the husqvarna 550 xp mark 2 15" but would this be too powerful and heavy to start with? the training centre recommended the stihl 211 but I feel that this might be at the opposite end of the spectrum? I’m going to have to pass a practical assessment so it is important I’m not hindered by the equipment I use

excuse me? What’s it to you what I want to be. Why are you being so rude? If I wanna do this for the sheer fun of it then surely that’s my prerogative the mind boggles at how every corner of the internet are full of brain dead trolls just sitting there waiting to project their crap onto someone innocently asking advice. Don’t know why I bother

Very helpful guys 👏 .

Hi guys so this is a bit random… started doing a bit of gardening here and there for elderly neighbours. Quite enjoy it as an extra little earned so looked into being official. A bit of research suggested I need 2 legislative to run legitimately. PA1 PA6 as well as a green waste certificate from council and obviously liability so looking into local centres that offer this training and found one by me and rang to enquire… lady said I may be in lucky because uk forestry have just opened up grants to help people like myself. Great! Had a look into it and asked myself why get a grant for £300 course when I can get a grant for £3000 course. So I endeavoured to apply for arboriculturist training. so in a few weeks I’ll be completing cs30 cs31 (Chainsaw Maintenance & Cross Cutting + Felling Small Trees up to 380mm) and then cs38 and cs 39 (Level 3 Award in Aerial Cutting of Trees with a Chainsaw Using Free-fall Techniques) courses I do have to supply the following from this list if anyone can help it would me much appreciated: I don’t really want to scrimp because I will be doing this professionally too thank you so much in advance 🙏
