Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a qualified instructor to start?
No. If you already have arboriculture or forestry experience, we will support you through our train-the-trainer process so you can deliver courses safely and to NPTC standards.
How much can I earn?
Your earnings depend on how many courses you run. Because most courses are short, you can deliver multiple blocks each month and build a reliable income. As demand grows, you can add more instructors and increase your capacity.
Do I need my own training site?
We will help you identify and set up suitable training areas and classroom facilities. You don’t need to own land, but you do need safe and practical sites that meet assessment requirements.
Is there demand for chainsaw training in my region?
Yes. Thousands of people every month search for terms like “chainsaw courses”, “chainsaw licence course” and “tree surgeon training UK”. Our SEO and marketing support will make sure those enquiries come to your regional pages.
What investment is required?
We’ll discuss investment levels with you directly. Costs are kept down by our economies of scale, shared marketing, and centralised systems. We can also connect you with finance options if needed.
Can I start part-time?
Yes. Many franchisees begin by running selected courses each month and expand as demand grows.
