What the college says

This qualification covers the safe and effective directional felling of trees using a chainsaw. The felling techniques applied will be appropriate to the tree’s size, weight, condition, and species, while also taking into account guide bar length, site constraints, and prevailing weather conditions. The scope includes both coniferous and broadleaved species, as well as trees that are upright, forward-leaning, or weighted against the intended direction of felling.
