In the end the assessor just took chunks of the tree until it fell to the ground ... not good practice

established practice, more dangerous than winching

Shame you weren’t a confident 18 year old who would surely have challenged the assessors decision, after all, you did everything right.

I witnessed a CS30 assessment that was taking place while I was doing my Aerial Rigging training way back.

 

The assessor was an no nonsense type old boy and one of the candidates was wearing a beanie hat under his helmet. He let the lad get as far as starting his saw on the ground and failed him on the spot for having his hat under his helmet.

 

Seemed a bit harsh at the time 🤣

We did at nptc Kenilworth,  Stoneleigh and we're told he didnt do assements for nptc .we had feedback from other people that he wasn't a great assessor for other reasons

So your assessor wasn’t even an assessor?

He was but then retired from being an assessor. So I didnt have a chance to thrash it out with him

Not the assessor But the instructor at my sons course should have been failed !  He broke the side cover on my 346 that I had lent Jack for the course . He tried levering it off with a big flat bladed screw driver with the brake still engaged . Wanker . He said in his defense " its not like that on a Stihl "
