“A very confident and skilled instructor. Very valuable and safety oriented information."

"I have been using a chain saw for twenty years and I learned new material today."

"Very interesting course. Very good maintenance and safety topics for anyone who has used or will use a chain saw."

"The instructor had a great deal of practical experience that I learned a great deal from."

"Anyone who uses a saw needs to take this class. Too many people use a saw occasionally and have no idea about safety requirements."

"Excellent class both in knowledge of instructors and the ability to communicate."

"Excellent presentation. I learned more in six hours than I have in the last twenty-five years. I had never heard of the plunge-cutting technique until I heard it in this class. I have more cutting confidence already."
