Apologies again for not putting up more posts - especially as we now have the new NPTC units to deliver. With the ending of the old CS
nn units, and the creation of the new Level 2 and Level 3 Awards which came into force back in June, there have been some changes to the training. So, here on DriveLink we'll be taking a look at some of those changes, and also a 'new' felling cut that has appeared in the L2 Award in Felling and Processing Small Trees (was CS31).
But first, one of the reasons why I've not been posting on here is that I left my job as Forestry & Arboriculture Short Course Manager at Sparsholt College to go out on my own. At the time, I was busy with woodfuel and the wood heat industry, as well as continuing to deliver some training at Sparsholt.
This post then, is just to let you know that if you require a contract chainsaw trainer, please do get in touch with me directly on 0790 067 7715 or via the contact form to the right.
My experience:
I spent 8 years managing and delivering forestry and arboriculture short courses at Sparsholt College:
- CS30 / L2 Award in Chainsaw Maintenance & Cross-Cutting
- CS31 / L2 Award in Felling and Processing of Trees up to 380mm.
- CS32 / L3 Award in Felling and Processing of Trees over 380mm
- CS38 / L2 Award in Tree Climbing & Aerial Rescue
- CS39 / L3 Award in Aerial Cutting of Tress
- as well as stump grinding, woodchipper operations and MEWP operations.
I'm also a qualified teacher and mentor, holding QTLS, Cert. Ed. Certificated Mentor, BA(Hons) in Post Compulsory Education & Training, an NVQ assessor (A1), and a member of the Institute for Learning (M.IfL) and Associate Member of the Institute of Equality and Diversity Practitioners.
I have an excellent reputation for training, and believe in providing inclusive training to help everyone achieve their goals.
