Medium and large felling

[wildwood-dwt]

Give me an experienced lad with cs31 over a newb with cs32 any day.

 

Of course this is right, experiance is a qualification in its own right, however, a lad with CS 32 has the more potential to out perform a lad with just CS 31

cheers wildwood, i have seen some people say "the CS32 was so easy i passed it no problem" then others saying the complete opposite, everyone has made me well excited to do this course now, going to try and do it as quick as possible.

 

what are the NPTC assesors like? the one i had for my CS30-31 was a real chilled guy but said you might end up getting an t**t! what is everyones expereiences with them?

 

I have never had a bad one really, I think they all appreciate every one has got to start somewhere! one or two can be a bit arrogant but as long as you don't have experience with a saw and pay attention you should be ok!

Probably alreday covered this but not time to back track...sorry.

 

NPTC did remove CS33 large trees, I think on basis of lack of availabitity plus (as I understand it BUT haven't done it) the felling etc. techniques aren't that different to CS32.

 

However owing to a representation being made by some large employers that they are concerned they may be deemed to be operating illegally if CS33 if removed before the CS32 assessment isd amended I believe they have (temporarily) reinstated it...or are considering so doing.

 

IF in any doubt I'd check with NPTC direct Tel: +44 (0) 24 7685 7300

 

Cheers..

PS Regarding 'expereince' being a qualification in it's own right I agree (kinda), when I did my NEBOSH qual. they described competence as a combination of 'Knowledge, Ability, Training and EXPERIENCE'...hence competent 'KATE'...and they did write the last word in capitals to emphasise it's importance, i.e. EXPERIENCE...but of course it has to be the right expereince and good expereince, often a 'rub off' from a good mentor....does that happen much anymore?!!!
