NPTC UNIT 301 (CS32)
LEVEL 3 AWARD IN FELLING AND PROCESSING TREES OVER 380MM.

OVERVIEW
Formerly known as CS32, this course prepares candidates to take their NPTC 0021-11 Fell & Process Trees over 380mm diameter test and arranges the test for you with an independent NPTC assessor.

The Fell & Process Trees over 380mm qualification is about the directional felling of trees using a chainsaw. The felling technique will be appropriate to tree size, weight, condition and species as well as taking into account guide bar size and weather conditions. This covers both coniferous and broad leaved trees, trees that are upright, trees that are weighted towards and that are weighted against a given felling direction. If you are working with chemicals or machinery you need to be appropriately trained or certificated in line with current legislation. This qualification is for those who carry out felling of trees using a chainsaw.

EMTS offers the above courses for candidates who have already achieved their initial chainsaw qualification and wish to progress further with the appropriate accreditation body. Chainsaw courses are very physical and candidates must be fit and able to carry out the tasks required of the course.

Following training, the candidate is then assessed by an independently appointed NPTC Assessor and successful candidates will receive an NPTC Certificate of Competence & NPTC Skills Card.
