About Our Fell and Process over 380mm diam. Courses
Hush Farms offers HSE approved Chainsaw training courses in Felling and Processing over 380mm diameter, across Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Cornwall and Wales.
Chainsaws are exceptionally versatile tools, but they're also potentially very dangerous. Serious accidents can and do happen – so, even if you're using them for leisure, it's important to have proper chainsaw training and to keep your skills up to scratch.
​​
Our Integrated Training and Assessment (ITA) chainsaw fell & process over 380mm courses lead to a LANTRA Awards Certificate in Basic Chainsaw Training. NPTC CS32 chainsaw certification can be arranged for an additional fee.
We also offer chainsaw refresher courses so you can update your training.
​
We do our best to be flexible around your needs, so you’re welcome to come and enjoy the chainsaw training courses at one of our sites in East Devon or mid-Wales, or we’ll come to a venue near you in the South West and throughout the UK. Plus, we’ll fit the course around your schedule – just let us know your most convenient times.
The Legal Bit
The law states that anyone who uses a chainsaw in the workplace must have proof of adequate training from a qualified person, to operate the machine safely, in appropriate conditions. Your chainsaw training must also be periodically updated. This legislation applies to everyone – volunteers, employed or self-employed alike.
