NPTC chainsaw tickets course content

[claydon]

Does anybody know if the content of each NPTC chainsaw unit is available online?

 

Basically I'd like to see what is required of the candidate for each unit, and how much it may have changed since I did mine.

 

Thanks in advance

Heres the list of level 2 qualifications:

and level 3 (cs32/windowblown stuff is level 3)

https://www.nptc.org.uk/qualificationschemes.aspx?id=9

 

Click on the awards and then go to the qualification guidance PDF for each one, basically tells you everything you need to know including the exact objectives etc...

Thanks Mark, very useful.

 

Though interesting it doesn't actually tell you the answers, like what is considered a safe way to fell a leaner or remove a hung up etc. I know what I was taught 20 years ago but wondered if its all still relevant?

Not much has changed, Husqvarna sponsor the NPTC workbooks & their  Working with Chainsaws series provides a good guide as to what is required.
