There are gear city and guilds or lantra courses.
On a two day course over half the time is dedicated to maintenance as a poorly performing or maintained saw is a danger in itself. On that course you will do about half a day of cross cutting (sawing felled lengths into smaller pieces). On the four day course they add in felling trees which is an even more potentially risky venture. I have done the 4 day course and got lantra accreditation, other half has done the two day course.
It was then terrifying when a friend who has worked on farms for years and has never had any proper training offered to help with a windfall tree. Practically everything he did was poor practice- a bit like watching a poor cyclist who keeps putting themselves at risk but as they aren’t dead yet thinks what they are doing is ok.

can you just go out and buy a chainsaw and then start cutting up logs? or does one need some form of licence?
