LEVEL 2 AWARD IN USING A POWERED POLE PRUNER
Description
For professional powered pole pruner operators working in forestry and arboriculture the industry recommendation is that for ’high risk‘ activities the minimum level of adequacy of training is a certificate of competence or nationally recognised qualification where assessment is carried out independently of the training.
This qualification meets this requirement.
This qualification will allow you to develop and demonstrate your competence in maintaining and operating a powered pole pruner; to work safely, effectively and efficiently, reducing unnecessary risks to yourself and others.
It will also provide firm evidence of your ability to meet licence-to-practise standards.
Quality Assurance policies are in place to ensure that all assessments meet the independent assessment requirements for this sector.
The following pathways are available:
Using a liquid fuel-powered pole pruner
Using a battery-powered pole pruner.
