NPTC Unit 304 (CS32) Felling & Processing of Medium Trees over 380mm and up to 760mm

CS32 – 3-day felling of Medium Trees training course, followed by an independent NPTC Unit 304 Assessment

The Felling of Medium Trees course teaches candidates how to fell trees that are up to, but not greater than, twice bar length. In practice, this means felling trees that are up to 30″ (760mm) in diameter with the size of the saw that they undertook their basic chainsaw training. The cuts are more challenging because they still have to meet accurately, but the bar can be completely concealed in the tree. The Medium Tree training course also teaches candidates basic winching techniques, because manual take-down is not possible on a hung-up tree of approx 30″ in diameter.

Following training, an independently appointed NPTC Assessor then assesses the candidate, and successful candidates will receive an NPTC Certificate of Competence and NPTC Skills card

Course Prerequisites

We recommend that candidates are experienced chainsaw users, with a minimum of 6-12 months in the industry before attending this course.
