Lantra PTi pass rate

[richyrich]

Does anyone know the national pass / success rate for the PTI? I read somewhere 38%.

I did course last week and prob failed on tree assessments i reckon- not got results yet, but made a few schoolboy errors. 

I think prob passed the written and fungi. I think course would be better over 4 days and have less emphasis on pseudo science from well known authors- regards kinetic/potential energy etc. Time to update the theory part maybe.

Pseudo-science? To pass the PTI you don't have to believe in it, you just need to be able to regurgitate it. But iunderstanding it will stand anyone in good stead for the future.

The thing is, when I'm doing risk assessments of trees paid for by clients, they set me a pass rate of 100%. Aim high!

Yes. I fairly confident i passed the theory. Just annoyed on the inspections- missed some stuff off and could have done better. Waiting for results...

Just got my pti results in post- very pleased to have passed-82%- ironically I got better marks on inspection-which I thought prob failed and on fungi ID I got one ID wrong ; whereas thought would have got 100% on them..Not a walk in the park overall.

Even though you passed, and passed well (congrats), if you think you could have done better there's still an 18% improvement opportunity  (check your pass rate for the actual inspection and see if any scope for improvement there...but sounds it will be very little if so.) 

 

I thought the pass rate these days was +50% as generally people are better prepared...generally (when I used to deliver it when it first was released it was only about 1/3rd as you suggest.) 

 

It's good you found it taxing, makes it more worthwhile and deserves a beer or two to celebrate.

 

Well done..

 Cheers Paul- defo room for improvement but learnt a fair bit on the course. 4 or 5 day course would be good. 👍I will keep studying/observing...

Congratulations on your 82% that must have been a nice surprise! Kate 😊

I did the 4 day course with Guy, got 78% which at my age of learning ( i remember blackboards and trig books) was pleased with. It should be exacting. K
