i did one when the company i was waoring for bought a new grinder . it depends what your client base is really mate , if its all or mainly domestic then i wouldnt bother

[MRstump]

Yeah i done a grinder ticket, yes it is worth it mine was about £100 quid, doesnt matter wether your only doing domestic or not, if you dont have a ticket to say your competant in its use and you have an accident or someone gets hurt you might be in a bit of bother! In this day and age its all about covering ones arse and for the sake of a 100 quid i think thats good value.

 

Plus you will Always learns something to help you work better.

Was that an nptc ticket?

[Mesterh]

Was that an nptc ticket?

 

If it is £100 seems very reasonable, might consider getting one myself at that price.

[Robert_S]

well said,that goes for any course IMO:thumbup:

No it was LANTRA, same standing and done on the same day as its assesment over the whole day, in someways better than NPTC as you have to be up to it over a longer space of time.

[Robert_S]

quite good value then is there an expiry date on it? i have various digger,mewp etc tickets on LANTRA but they were 5 year tickets so i will have to be re-assessed on them, is the grinder one the same?
