This is the 002108 – City & Guilds NPTC Level 3 Award in Aerial Cutting of Trees with a Chainsaw using Free-fall Techniques (formerly known as CS39).

This standard is about the removal of single limb / parts of tree canopy to the complete removal of trees without the use of rigging equipment. It is also about the removal of tree sections from the crown using free-fall or hand thrown techniques.

You will need to carry out a tree hazard evaluation and perform a ‘working at height’ assessment before starting this work. You will carry out cutting operations using appropriate access techniques. You will gain access and carry out cutting operations in line with the above assessment from a rope and harness.

* We support Welsh businesses within the Trees and Timber sector via the Focus on Forestry funding scheme aimed to support skills development. Please enquire for further information.

3 days training plus 1 day assessment.

Candidates must be aged 16 or above.

Due to elements of this course being in a woodland area, candidates require their own transport or alternatively must notify the centre before the course so alternative options can be sourced.

Candidates should also be aware that this course is physical in nature.
