Chainsaw Training Courses

Discover Lantra Awards Chainsaw training. We specialise in delivering high quality training courses and qualifications to people in the environmental and land based sector.

Chainsaws and allied cutting equipment are very versatile tools with a variety of uses. But they are also potentially very dangerous. Serious accidents can and do occur without proper training, or because operators have not kept their skills up to scratch.

There are two routes to training and certification for chainsaws and aerial tree work. Each suite of courses follows a logical, pre-requisite, progression:

1. Integrated Training and Assessment (ITA) courses, leading to a Lantra Awards Certificate of Training.
Suitable for someone who intends to use the chainsaw for business, domestic or leisure activities, but does not intend to work in forestry or arboricultural activities or work on Forestry Commission land, or fell material over 200mm in diameter.

2. Training Only courses, providing a Lantra Awards attendance certificate and leading to NPTC assessment (CS units).
Intended for those seeking contractual work in professional forestry, amenity or arboricultural activities which is likely, immediately or at some future date, to involve felling trees over 200mm in diameter, and/or aerial tree work.
