FAQ about Chainsaw Training:

Q. Do I need a Chainsaw Licence in QLD?
A. No, there are no current mandatory training requirements for the operation of chainsaws in Queensland. However, it is strongly recommended for organisations and businesses to fulfil their duty of care and make sure everyone using a chainsaw has at minimum a nationally recognised accreditation (Licence).

Q. What are the different levels of chainsaw licence?
A. Level one (1) Chainsaw Licence – AHCMOM213 Operate and maintain chainsaws.
Level two (2) Chainsaw Licence – AHCPCM205 Fell small trees, or FWPCOT2274 – Fell trees manually (basic) (we also offer this course – $328)
