NPTC/LANTRA assessment failures

[AHPP]

I fear there won't be enough data to answer this properly but let's try. Which assessors have you witnessed failing a candidate (you or someone else on your assessment)? Just name the institution/assessor or explain more if you want. 

 

More than one ticket, more than one institution etc, brief explainer please.

 

Nobody will read anything into only naming and not explaining so nobody needs to fear ridicule for failing a course.

On my basic chainsaw course 30/31 there were 4 candidates being assessed.

2 were older blokes who were whingeing throughout about how ‘they’d been doing it for years and didn’t need a stupid bit of paper, they knew it all, blah, blah blah.’

They were both failed after the workshop section, and didn’t make it outside to do any cutting.

 

That was in Newcastle.

A long time ago.

I was failed at Sparsholt college ,

Loads of experiance passed all the tree felling assessments  bar a hung up tree...got the tree hung up, couldn't get it down using approved techniques ,instead of the assessor taking over the situation ,I was told to get a forwarder -forwarder couldn't get the tree down .. so i failed on that element. 

Shouldn't of been a failure but the assessor was known to be a knob.

What should of happend was the assessor should have taken over the situation and got the tree down.

The were alot of assesors back then that didnt like a confident experienced  18 Yr old  back then
