New Sub Contractor Help

[AA Teccie (Paul)]

Both City & Guilds AND Lantra (Awards) now offer qualification opportunities, i.e. assessments, and both use the same titles but not references (see attached.)

 

Only Lantra offer training courses (and FISA of course for ground based stuff.)

As per the BALI website: click the links to book your touch screen test and to find your local ROLO centre: (Not sure of your location but our next ROLO course is on the 15th August in the Tamar Valley)

We believe that the primary difference between Lantra and NPTC chainsaw qualifications is that all the Lantra courses have integrated assessments with the instructor doing both the training and the assessment. NPTC do offer some elements as integrated assessments but primarily the assessments are taken formally by a different assessor who did not teach you (so like a driving test). Some organisation still see this formal assessment as a more efficient way of establishing that the candidate has understood and absorbed all the criteria required to use the chainsaw.

Many thanks indeed to all who have replied. I have now booked my ROLO course and will then sort out the touch screen test. 

As for the Lantra/NPTC, everyone locally (North Wales) was offering the Lantra courses. Personally, my instructor was superb, really gave great tuition and couldn't fault his teaching methods at all. A big thumbs up to Phil Dunford Chainsaw Training!
