You set up a training profile before you pay. It asks for more than a normal checkout does - your employer, your role, an emergency contact - because this is a training record, not a shopping cart. It is the file an auditor asks to see, and it is why you can pull your certificate up years from now instead of hunting for a PDF in your email. Give yourself five minutes and do it once.

About the course
What this course covers.
This course is built for the forestry industry specifically, not general equipment use: it covers the personal protective equipment required for forestry chainsaw work and the parts of the saw.
It works through effective tree-cutting techniques - notching and cutting, limbing and bucking - with a strong emphasis on safety, plus forestry danger zones and hazardous trees.
It closes with proper stance and operator fatigue, referencing Ontario's own legislation throughout.
