About Us

✅ SETA-Aligned Training

Practical Solutions offers TRAINING SERVICES that concentrate on training, assessing, and updating Chainsaw and Brush Cutter operators, as well as arboriculture unit standards such as tree climbing, street tree pruning, stump grinding, chipping, lawnmowing, and herbicide application.

We also offer relevant safety and personal development courses like health and safety, first aid, personal finance, debt counselling, and conveyancing.

Our business has been operating for more than 20 years and has built up vast experience and an excellent reputation in the training field.

Our vision is to employ certified chainsaw operator instructors and to offer certified training courses to current and potential Chainsaw and Brush Cutter operators, as well as anyone who wants to personally develop themselves. It is also our intention to help with the reconstruction of the community by training and assisting people in this industry.

There is a real need for operator training and the relevant courses that go with it in the Western Cape as well as the rest of Southern Africa. We are registered and a recognized skills development and training service provider in South Africa.
