NPTC 201, 202 & 203: 5 DAY CHAINSAW COURSE
LEARN CHAINSAW MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION AS WELL AS HOW TO FELL AND PROCESS SMALL TREES
Course Overview:
This course combines NPTC Units 201 & 202 (Level 2 Award in Chainsaw Maintenance and Cross-Cutting) and 203 (Level 2 Award in Felling and Processing Tress up to 380mm). As it is a combined course it will run over 5 days of training and successful candidates will gain a licence to fell trees commercially up to 380mm in diameter.
The first day is based in the workshop where we will cover legislation, risk assessments, basic chainsaw maintenance, chain Id, sharpening and organising site safety. We will then take a more practical approach for the next 4 days learning how to safely operate a chainsaw in a working environment.
The training will be followed by a 1 day assessment undertaken by an external NPTC approved assessor within 1 week of training. Your Certificate of Competence will allow you to undertake tree felling and chainsaw operation in the areas covered by the course. You will receive an NPTC Level 2 Award in Chainsaw Maintenance and Cross-Cutting along with the Level 2 Award in Felling and Processing Trees up to 380mm from City & Guild.
