Wood Chipper Courses

Price: from £185 per person (+VAT), for a one-day course

Whether you're using Wood Chippers for business, domestic or leisure activities, Hush Farms can create a bespoke wood chipper course for your needs.

If you're working, or wish to work, in the arboriculture, forestry, horticulture, landscaping or grounds maintenance industries then your employer should provide adequate wood chipper training, to ensure all wood chipping equipment is operated safely.

Because models and makes do vary, we always refer to the manufacturer's handbook, so that the learning really is tailored to your needs. This means maintenance and adjustments can be carried out to the specific wood chipper model requirements.

We also do our best to be flexible around your situation –you can come and enjoy the wood chipper course at one of our sites in Devon or Wales, or we’ll come to a venue near you. Plus, we’ll fit the course around your schedule – just let us know your most convenient times.
