ECC - Trainers’ week I was a success!
In a small village in the north-east of Catalonia, Spain, 16 chainsaw trainers and 6 project co-ordinators of 6 countries met during one week to discuss about the methodology to assess chainsaw trainees in an exam situation. Based on the European chainsaw standards we set during previous meetings we discussed the various methods used in the different countries and tried to simplify some aspects in order to make it efficient and cost-effective for all players. Though 5 days to discuss chainsaw assessments may seem a lot, we only managed to cover ECC1 and ECC2, therefore we are organising a second trainers’ week to deal with ECC 3 and ECC4.
