Designed specifically for forest contractors
ForestFit recognises that forest contracting businesses vary in size, area of operation and require leaders to have cross functional knowledge. Our training has been specifically designed for leaders/emerging leaders, within a harvest and haulage business (owner, manager) who:
- Can implement improvements/changes within the business.
- Have a base understanding of the legislative and regulatory requirements for their business.
The training program combines accredited and industry endorsed training and provides a pathway for national engagement with training and certification.
The project is supported by an Industry Reference Group (IRG) of forest contractors and other industry representatives who are providing ongoing input into the development and delivery to ensure it meets the needs of industry. Training modules have been designed specifically for NSW forest contractors, so you can implement them into your business.
