Following swiftly on to our next horticulture course, and the first H in our series of short blogs looking at the A to Z of courses we do – Hand Held Hedge Trimmer.
We provide a wide selection of Agricultural and Horticulture courses, all our courses are delivered using a mixture of both classroom based tutorial and practical machine operating, testing and a final course assessment. We also cover in our presentation the hazards associated with various plants and toxic woods, which the candidates may come into contact with during their work with the Hedge Trimmer.
Course ratios – Hedge Trimmer
The course durations, training and testing ratios are
Novices : 2 days for 4 Delegates
Refresher & Test : 1 day, up to 4 delegates
Experienced Worker Tests (EWT) : 1 day for up to 6 delegates. Alternatively for EWT’s we can mix the training with our other horticulture courses such as Mower or Shredder course meaning 2 candidates can be tested on all these categories in the same day by completing three tests each.
Here is a link to our web page containing all the information you need to know about the training we can offer.
