Frequently Asked Questions

Here are a collection of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

What does chainsaw training involve?

Chainsaw training skills are broken down by NPTC into a series of numbered units. These can be read in the attached list. All candidates must start by achieving NPTC Units 201/202 (CS30 - Chainsaw Maintenance and Crosscutting) and NPTC Unit 203 (CS31 - Felling Trees up to 380mm Diameter). This is typically a 5 day course, with an assessment on day 6.

When the candidate has gained these units, he or she can progress to felling larger trees NPTC Unit 301 (CS32), or train for the climbing units NPTC 206/306 (CS38 Tree Climbing and Aerial Rescue, and NPTC 308 (CS39 Using a Chainsaw from Rope and Harness). The climbing courses do require a reasonable level of physical fitness and a good head for heights is a definite advantage!

All these are outdoor, hands-on courses for a maximum of 4 people at a time. There is some theory involved in CS30 and CS31, but mostly you will be felling trees and honing your chainsaw handling skills until you can fell accurately and consistently. On the climbing courses you will spend a lot of time climbing fairly big trees, ‘learning the ropes’ and doing simulated rescues of an injured climber, before learning to handle a chainsaw safely whilst securely anchored into the canopy.

We get a lot of positive feedback from candidates who tell us that they are amazed at how much they have learnt, and how confident and competent they feel after a relatively short time. Above all, they tell us how much they have really enjoyed it!

How is the training organised?

Initial training must be undertaken by a qualified instructor, then all candidates have to be independently assessed by the National Proficiency Test Council (NPTC). All courses offered by TreeHouse / Kingswood Training are overseen by Lantra, which is a government body that tests instructors of environmental and land-based industries and provides quality assurance for the candidate. We will book your assessment for you at the end of your course, and an NPTC assessor will be appointed to examine your competence. We are proud of the fact that our pass rate is consistently around 95%.

There are some ancillary courses that do not require independent assessment. These are referred to as ITA courses (Integrated Training and Assessment) and the instructor can issue a certificate of competence if he judges that the candidate has met the skill criteria. These are listed separately from the chainsaw courses, and include use of Woodchippers, Stumpgrinders, Brushcutters etc.

What courses are available, and at what cost?

The vast majority of those seeking intensive re-training, opt for our 4-week Combined Arboriculture Course, which has been specifically designed to cover the full range of relevant skills, therefore helping someone who has no previous experience to get suitably qualified to work in the arboricultural and forestry industry.

View a full list of our individual courses with the tuition fees.

Assessment fees are paid directly to NPTC, and prices start from £120 per unit.

What are the job prospects for arboriculture and forestry?

TREES KEEP GROWING – that is a fact! When they get too big for their position, or fall into ill-health, someone has to reduce or remove them. Britain leads the world in the teaching of arboricultural skills, and this is partly because our high population density means that a lot of houses are built close to trees which are retained for their amenity value. Sooner or later however, the trees just get too big or unsafe, and that usually means that a trained tree surgeon has to climb the tree and skillfully reduce it, or dismantle it completely. There are plans to build hundreds of thousands of new homes in the South East alone, and very often Planning Authorities will insist on the retention of as many trees on these sites as possible. These will require additional care and attention – it’s all good for business! This means great job prospects for those training in tree surgery.

Following the very high winds of October 1987, and more recently, there is a much greater awareness of the need to manage trees, either by crown thinning or reduction, to keep them safe. People are also much more interested in caring for our tree heritage, and are prepared to invest in skilled ‘tree care’. The very dry summer of 2003 will also unfortunately create work, because trees stressed by drought will succumb to diseases which they would otherwise have survived, and mortality rates of mature trees will inevitably rise for the next 2 or 3 years.

In recent years, the government has given local authorities the powers to force people to reduce or remove rows of Leylandii which are depriving neighbours of light. There are over 100,000 known disputes in England alone! This is great news for tree surgeons everywhere.

If you want to work in this industry, the first decision you need to make is whether to be self-employed and run your own business, or seek employment with an established company. In many ways, a year or so working for a well-run company is an excellent grounding for becoming self employed, but be careful to choose a good one. If you choose to be employed, there are many ways of finding work – the following list is by no means exhaustive.

Circulate your CV to local tree surgeons (find them in Yellow Pages or from your Local Council).

Register with particular employment agencies which specialise in forestry and arboriculture (e.g. CTC – www.completetreecare.co.uk), (Horticulture Jobs – www.horticulturejobs.co.uk/jobs/).

Contact the utility companies in your area and find out whether they employ staff directly, and if not, who they sub-contract work out to.

Contact your Local Authority – they will either employ staff direct or sub-contract to independent companies.

Look in the press, including National, Local and Trade papers and magazines such as Arb News.

The tree surgery and forestry industries are THRIVING, and show every sign of continuing to do so. They offer a wide range of interesting job prospects, particularly for enterprising, well-motivated people who want a healthy outdoor life. I have worked in this sector for over 20 years, and can honestly say that I still get up and look forward to my days work. I hope that you choose your career well, and will be able to say the same thing in 20 years time!

Very good course; excellent and experienced instructor (David Hills), good area to work in and learnt a lot during the week. Good mixture of learning new techniques and also having time to practice what we had learnt to reinforce the instruction.
Only comment is that, as I had hired the equipment, one or two items were missing (angle gauge, for instance) and the chain saw chain was very worn (meaning I had to spend a long time sharpening it). A check-in and check-out of the boxes each time would avoid equipment going missing.
Otherwise excellent course.
Would like to hear about Tony\'s one day tree appreciation course (types, fungi, diseases etc.) and when it is next available.

I chose Kingswood's 4 week combination course as it seemed to be the quickest way to train for and take my qualifications. I wasn't particularly looking forward to the course but how silly was that- I ended up having a fantastic time, learning more than I have during 6 months on the job, and met some really interesting people. Thank you for making something that could be a bit scary, fun!

Attended the 3 day Professional Tree Inspection course November 2020. Extremely well organised and first rate communication. The course was delivered in an enjoyable, safe and respectful manor despite COVID restrictions. The standard of training was excellent, provided by an instructor who was very knowledgeable and did an outstanding job of delivering the content in a relevant and amusing way, despite the restrictions put in place to keep everyone safe. Thank you.

I attended the Combined 5 Day – Chainsaw Maintenance & Felling Small Trees (201,202 & 203) in June 2020. My instructor David was incredibly knowledgeable and worked hard, making the learning process fun and interesting throughout the course. He also ensured that he spent plenty of time with each of us individually to help iron out any weaknesses before the assessment.
I highly recommend Kingswood Training to anyone considering learning new skills or building upon pre-existing ones!

I would like the thank the whole team for the great two weeks I had with you at kings wood training. You all made me feel welcomed and were all soo friendly and helpful.
I would like to give a special thanks to Pat who I definitely wouldn’t of been able to pass without. I especially appreciate the little pep talk he gave us on the morning of the assessment.
His friendly and yet professional style of teaching is amazing and his ability to make his students feel at ease is exceptional.
Once again I would like to thank you all and will definitely without any hesitation recommend your company to others.
All the best

Myself and a colleague attended the CS38 tree climbing and aerial rescue course and could not have asked for anything more from Kingswood. The course instructor (Patrick) was fantastic and committed extra time each day to allow us to practice elements of the course we were less confident with.
Following the 5 day training, we were assessed by Tony, who was similarly helpful and attentive, which put us at ease and helped us remain calm during the assessment.
Couldn't recommend a better course.

Completed cs30/31 with Jim back in may last year, he was extremely knowledgeable and had a great taste in music... I was so happy with the course that i paid to come back and complete the cs38/39 in January this year. Pat (our instructor) was one of the nicest blokes i think i've ever met, he was a great teacher and worked extremely hard to get everyone in the group through the course which we all passed. Thank you to Tony who assessed us too he is also extremely knowledgeable and highly skilled. And also Michele who kept answering all my annoying questions and organised everything for me! i was a lucky enough to find a new job within the same month as this course thanks to their training. I would highly recommend the course to anyone looking to progress their skills and learn from some of best out there.

In January 2020 I completed NPTC Units 201/202/203.
My instructor was very thorough, knowledgeable and he motivated us to work hard.
The facilities for maintenance training were well equipped and easy to use. The site we practised felling in was large, varied and picturesque.
I thoroughly enjoyed my week and have learned a great deal.

Hi Michele,
Good to meet you today. I just wanted to say I really enjoyed the BTI course today, Tony was great. I\'d like to build up to the PTI but feel I need to do a bit of reading first, can you send me the reading list you recommend please, if poss highlighting the best ones.
I was also talking to Tony about the video you put up about 2 rope working. I randomly came across it last week and thought it was very good. I think it will definitely help people think about the regulations and ways they can implement it. A friend of mine who also runs a recreational tree climbing company saw the video too and had a similar opinion.
Cheers

Had an absolutely fantastic time training for my Tree Climbing and Aerial Rescue with Kingswood training. Couldn't of asked for more from our instructor Patrick who made me feel completely comfortable from the get go and explained everything in a manner which was very easy to grasp, especially as I was a complete climbing novice. I would highly recommend Kingswood to anyone looking to further their career and look forward to seeing you guys in the New Year for my CS39.
THANKS !

It’s crazy that BTI course has massively changed my view on how to look at trees and their structures.
We had a massive ash tree in Purley down for a pollard recommendation by the tree officer, after the BTI course we looked at it again and on further inspection we found a grub that’s eating the tree from the inside, the tree has now been put on a emergency job removal no climber will climb it so hiring in a 30m mewp.
My boss is very happy.

I cannot thank the staff enough for all there help with our groundsman Colin Langlois when he recently came over from Jersey to attend this course, they have helped Colin in all aspects of the course- even before he arrived in the UK! Nothing was too much trouble for them at any time and we are grateful for the continuing support shown to Jersey Trees for Life and Colin on his return. I would definitely recommend this course and Kingswood / Tree House Training to others.

Hi Michele and team,
Thank you so much for the training and help that you have provided to make gaining my certification as simple and smooth as possible.
I have found the training and facilities amazing and the instructors knowledge (Tony) is second to none.
This is why I keep coming back for all my courses.
I do hope that we can arrange a CS47 (cutting from a mewp) very soon and I hope the arb show goes well for you all.
Once again many thanks and I look forward to future courses with you.
Many thanks

Hi just a quick email to thank your instructors Tony and Jim , I was not very confident at all with this course as on the Sunday before I did my back in. But Tony made sure I did no more damage and guided me through what I think is a course that has a lot of information to process. If you could pass my thanks to them both , it would be appreciated many thanks Pete ( either ) . P.S all four of us passed yet again many thanks .

I have attended a few courses with Kingswood Tree House Training and feel that I have to leave a review.  I am going to start by saying how fantastic and well run the courses are, the trainers are really knowledgeable and have a real passion to train you to the best they can.  It's not just a job to them, which you can tell from the start when you meet them, they are friendly and put you right at ease, which for a student learning the trade helps a lot.
The organisation is top quality even down to the meeting points so you don’t get lost.
Great course and thank you very much for getting where I am today with my tickets, I have more to get and would not go anywhere else.

In Jan 2018 I took the 28day Arboriculture combination course with Tree House Training (formally known as Kingswood). From the initial first contact with Michele who was not only very professional but also made you feel very welcome throughout the course. On this course I had 3 different instructor\'s (Jim,Tony and Andy) all of which had extensive knowledge in arboriculture and great teaching skills. I can honestly say I've had a great time learning with Tree House Training and i will definitely be going back to further my knowledge/skills with them. An affordable price with great course material and run by a great team with a family feel..... What more could you ask for. I recommend this course AND team to anyone who wishes to start out in Arboriculture.
