UA certification how hard?

[OakStag]

Hi,

 

Just inquiring as to the difficulty in achieving UA1 through to UA5. seen the NPTC booklets and seems alot of questions? I've done a few other NPTC previously and these have been a walk in the park just wandered if these were the same?

Cheers

I can only advise on ua1 & ua2.
Do your homework for ua1 and it's pretty straight forward.
Ua2 is straight forward so long as you're competent on the saw and semi decent at climbing.

There's a bit more knowledge required because there's another big hazard so the assessor needs to know you're aware of that danger and how to deal with it.

Ua1 is theory & classroom based so a lot of info to take in but I found that once we went into site to see the apparatus everything clicked.
Ua2 is almost completely practical. Don't rush and be safe = no worries!

Hope that helps.
