Competenz can provide training plans, support and qualifications — tailored to your business's specific needs.
The harvesting programmes provide nationally recognised qualifications that combine workplace-based learning with practical knowledge of forestry operations. They equip people to work in production roles in forest harvesting, carrying out tasks such as tree felling, operating harvesting plant and equipment, planning and monitoring operations, and maintaining machinery. Training includes safety, risk and emergency management, technical operation of equipment, and understanding environmental and crew responsibilities. The Level 4 forest harvesting operations programme is an apprenticeship.
