    There are three different types of courses available:

    COURSES FOR OCCASIONAL USERS (LANTRA ITA courses)

    These two courses combine training and assessment, and candidates who achieve an acceptable standard will be awarded a Lantra Awards Certificate of Training which is valid for 5 years. More Details ...

    COURSES FOR PROFESSIONAL USERS (LANTRA course leading to NPTC assessment)

    This route is intended for someone who anticipates seeking contractual work in professional forestry, amenity or arboricultural activities which is likely, immediately or at some future date, to involve felling trees over 200mm (8") in diameter, and/or aerial tree work. More Details ...

    REFRESHER COURSES

    These courses are available for candidates who already hold an NPTC certificate, but who wish to refresh their skills. Some companies require their employees to update their skills after a length of time. HSE recommend a refresher course every 3 years for occasional users and 5 years for regular users.

    Training is a legal requirement.

    The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) require employers to provide adequate training and to ensure that chainsaws and related equipment are operated by employees who have received appropriate training in their safe use. Read More ...
