training costs?

[Stihlwatersrundeep]

I have just been offered a place on the cs30/31 course at kingswood at the end of the month and was expecting to pay around £500 ish.

that's what's on their website so i thought ok?

I got their invoice and it seems that the course with assessment is £875! inc vat

Is this the normal price everyone charges?

In January this year I paid £708.50 inclusive of VAT & Assessment for CS30 & CS31.

 

Just taken CS38. That was £516.50.

I'm not even sure that is the final figure as the NPTC assessment is £220 approx + VAT? so it could be nearer £900:scared:

That seems one hell of alot of money to me! When I did it (it was a good few years ago) It cost approx £500.

My gaffer paid 500 + assesment for CS 30 and the same again for CS31!

I would not bother wasting money on these courses all for what proof you can sharpen a chainsaw common does not one else think there just robbing us.

Think of it a long-term an investment in your future career. Employers are well aware of the cost of CS units and will be well impressed you you've put yourself through them! I took a lad on two years ago who put himself through the climbing and he's proved himself time and time again.

 

Plus... If you pay for your CS units yourself your going to be well motivated to pass !

my bank account didnt have enough money init to pay for myself, but my parents helped, But its still good motivation for me to pass, and i do have to pay them back.

think my 30 and 31 combined cost something to the tune of 500 odd quid including assessments. the assessments cost 75 a piece and the other 350 was the tuition. was a monday to thursday course with assessment on the friday.

 

got my 38 coming up when ive spent some more time in the trees.

 

in hindsight i woudl have gone to college to do them, but im making up for it and paying myself through them. agreed, its an investment!
