To train Forestry Trainers: Why?

The project Forestry EduTrainer tackles the question of the lack of a specific training to become a forestry trainer for Vocational and Educational Training (VET) and Lifelong Learning learners.

 

The forest sector offers a variated number of jobs opportunities within wood harvesting: loggers, forest machines operators, tree surgeons, entrepreneurs of SME who employ forestry workers and so on. All over Europe, different training possibilities exist for all these professions through VET and Lifelong Learning.

All these trainings need and employ Forestry Trainers who teach and train young and adult learners (i.e. students and apprentices) to become forest workers and to put in practice knowledges, and most of all practical techniques of wood harvesting, according to different specialisation.

Forestry training is essential for every worker who intervene in the forest for wood harvesting activities, not only because of the knowledges and because of the techniques that need to be mastered and implemented by learners (i.e. future forestry workers) according to the rules of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM), but also because of the safety rules and requirements that every forestry worker has to respect and apply when he is working in the forest.

Forestry harvesting operation are extremely dangerous. Heavy and sharp machines (e.g. chainsaws, strimmers, tractors) are forestry operators’ daily working tools. Today, thanks to the advancements in safety equipment, we may have reduced the number of small workplace injuries, but the number of deadly accidents in the workplace remains elevated in many European countries. This is why proper forestry and safety training is fundamental for every forestry worker, and forestry trainers play a key role within this process.

 

Thanks to previous exchanges, the partnership of Forestry EduTrainer has realised that technical forestry trainers have very different backgrounds and qualifications among European countries. Thus, the Centre Forestier held a survey among different forestry organisations. All the surveyed organisations reported that a specific training for forestry trainer is lacking in their countries (Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, France, Italy and Spain). In some countries, some general trainings exist at higher education level as a complement to specific forestry trainings. Otherwise, palliative solutions are implemented: e.g. Italian forestry trainers are trained in Switzerland.

As showed by this analysis, most of the forestry trainers employed by VET centres are highly experimented forestry technicians and professionals, but they are not systematically qualified to acquire teaching and pedagogical competences to apply to forestry training. They have become forestry trainers either because other experienced forestry trainers assisted them, or because they achieved a complementary qualification to acquire teaching and pedagogical skills.

 

Hence, a specific training for forestry trainers is lacking in all the surveyed countries, and in most of European countries. In consequence of the key role that trainers have in forestry training, especially within safety requirements, a special training standard for forestry trainers has to be developed.

Objective of the project

Forestry EduTrainer aims at creating a European Certificate for Forestry Trainers (ECFT), i.e. a training course for technical forestry trainers, common to all European countries.

This training course gathers together the best and the most innovative training practices already applied in Europe or to be applied in the forestry training sector. The training course for forestry trainers, which leads to the ECFT, is issued through a distance-learning platform. The training course is designed using a minimum number of conditions and EU- forestry training standards (core curriculum), with special features according to national specificities and 3 different forestry subjects: manual logging, mechanised logging and skidding. The course does not focus on the basic and technical knowledges / capacities about forestry works. Our objective is not to train a person to become a forestry worker. The course rather focuses on training/pedagogical methods and tools to apply by trainers in the forestry-training sector.

Impacts and long term benefits

Forestry EduTrainer facilitates an effective and innovative solution to the lack of a specific training for forestry trainers in Europe.

The European certificate of Forestry Trainer and the annexed tools developed to issue it (especially the Distance Learning Platform) allows:
- Beginner forestry trainers, recently employed by a forestry training centre, and also forestry trainers who started as forestry workers and became trainers, to benefit from a specific training, designed from European common standards, to acquire, improve and perfect the necessary teaching and pedagogical skills to properly train forestry workers.
- Individual candidates who wish to become forestry trainers, to benefit from a specific training to become forestry trainers and to work in all those forestry centres that recognise the ECFT.
- Forestry VET centres and other organisations that employ forestry trainers to dispose from a new training course to improve the teaching and training skills of their trainers.
