What is the 'course number' for the forest service Chainsaw Operator course? Has anyone taken it, and if so what is your opinion of it?

Thanks.

It's S-212 Wildfire powersaws

I think its a good class, it covers the basics well, however I think it relies on the instructor more than most. A good instructor with a lot of saw experience can really make the class.
