    Certification and Assessment

    Successful completion of either course will qualify the trainee for a LANTRA certificate of training (provided the required standard is met).

    This is recognised by the Health and Safety Executive as adequate evidence of a chainsaw user having received appropriate training.

    However, many employers (such as the forestry Commission, National Parks etc) and most insurance companies require a chainsaw operator to have an NPTC certificate of competence. This is gained by a rigorous assessment by an NPTC appointed assessor (and NOT the trainer).

    Following completion of one of my courses, NPTC assessment can be arranged. If you require assessment on the day following the completion of the course, please state this when booking.  CS30 assessment is half a day and CS30/31 assessment is a full day.

      The cost of NPTC assessment is

    1. Basic chainsaw maintenance and cross-cutting (CS30)
      £100


    2. Felling small trees, maintenance and cross-cutting (CS30/31)
      £195

    We can also arrange assessment for the more advanced courses - medium trees (CS32), large trees (CS33) and windblown trees (CS34).  Prices available on request.

     

     


    WE WILL ARRANGE NPTC ASSESSMENT FOR THOSE WHO REQUIRE IT. PLEASE RING FOR COSTS AND DATES.
