Can I take CS32 if I've got CS10 & CS11

Can I take CS32 if I've only got CS10 and CS11? Nptc website says I need CS30 and CS31 - aren't these similar?

There is a chance depending on who you talk to, and who you can get to arrange it.

 

 

 

But at very least you will need to take CS31.4 first (takedown of hungup trees) as this was not covered in the earlier units.

So would the cheapest way of doing it would be to train for CS32 and ask to be assessed for CS31.4 and CS32 at the same time?

First I would contact your local NPTC assessment centre. Ask them to organise you a CS31.4 and a CS32 to be taken in a month or two.

 

If they do, you are home and dry.

 

If they say something like 'computer says no' you are going to have to start wiggling if you wish to avoid doing CS30 / 31 assessments.

 

Once the 31.4 / 32 assessment is booked, I would then only bother with the CS32 training. Takedown is covered by Cs32, the only differece is you are getting the tree down with a winch rather than a breaking bar.
