best advice is download the assessment schedule from nptc and learn as much of it as you can then it will all click into place

the only prob is there is a switch over period so not sure if you will be doing the old units or new

but i would guess old unit

NPTC | Assignment Schedules

new schedules come into play in new year, so he will most likely be learning the new one.

 

My advice would be to go in open minded and take in as much as you can, ask too many questions, make sure you know what you are doing and your confidence will come quicker. if you start watching videos you will be thinking 'well if they do it that way then i will be ok' but remember people in those fancy videos tend to have massive amounts of experience!

Relax and enjoy Crimbo.

 

It will be to the new schedule so go on to NPTC | Home go to schedules and click cs 30/31 and make sure it is dated 09 and not 06!

 

Dennis is doing the course and he is very good at getting the best of short course people. Good site and only four on the course so plenty of time to hone the skills.

First day is maintanance and the 4 days in the woods.

 

Just need ppe and a saw and files really. the other stuff, felling levers, timber tongs and tape etc he has. Also get a whistle and large wound dressing.

 

Tis up at Dunsop bridge on a clear fell site so hopefully it will be 6ft in snow to keep you on your toes:thumbup:

 

Have a bit of a browse of the schedules but don't worry to much, Dennis covers all. He likes biccies to!

 

enjoy.
