Overview

Brushcutters/trimmers are popular tools across the agriculture, horticulture, landscaping, and grounds maintenance industries. They save time and work efficiently in tricky terrains and situations. But they also have the potential to be one of the most dangerous machines in common use. Our course will help novice users recognise and reduce those dangers. You'll also learn how to optimise performance and carry out routine maintenance. This two-day novice training course is for anyone employed in the agriculture, horticulture, landscaping and grounds maintenance industries who currently operates, or will be required to operate a brushcutter/trimmer.
