I got basic chainsaw training for ERT and advanced training by professional tree cutter instructors as I was one of the desiganted chainsaw operators. It was really worth it.
The topics were basic safety, basic operation, cutting and felling techniques and the advanced training also covered coping with dicey situations that are prone to kill people.
Two pieces of advice:
- get some proper PSE
- donīt graduate on the Youtube university for that. There is a lot BS out there that can get you killed
