There is a very big difference between professional chainsaw training and what they call domestic user.

The difference is when the training moves onto tree management and climbing. The chainsaw safety course is appropriate to anyone professional or otherwise.

Hello all,

Just incase anyone is interested in a domestic chainsaw course I have found the following,

The problem with many of the courses I came accross was that you had to supply all your own gear and equipment, this one supplies everything,

Hi Dancie,

I can recommend Kingswood Training in the Kent Weald. Their newbie course is excellent but stay overnight, rather than drive up each day if you use them.

A nearer location to you  is Merrist Wood College in Guildford. Excellent college and some of our club (Cheam Woodturners) have had chainsaw training from there.

I did a LANTRA approved course quite a few years ago. It was Cross-cutting and maintenance, a very good course. Don’t know if there is still such a course though.

Hello David and Michael,

Many thanks for your imput here,

I've booked a course with Scott Fraser, the one I posted the link to,

I posted the link just in case anyone else was interested,

It took me awhile to find the right course and there are many, some didnt start until after the spring - Premier Inn nearby is only £38 for one night,

All the best.
