    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.

    All of these courses are training only, and trainees receive a certificate of attendance from LANTRA. However, most employers require NPTC certification, which requires an additional assessment. This is normally half a day to a day in duration, and can be arranged when making your booking. This assessment is at an additional price set by the NPTC.

      Day 1 covers the safe operation and maintenance of a chainsaw and day 2 covers safely cross-cutting pre-felled timber. External assessment for NPTC CS30 certification.
