CS 30 and 31 assessment equipment

[wyk]

Howdy, Guys. Long time listener, first time caller. I intend to get my 30 and 31 cert in the next couple of months in Ireland. I was wondering if you could let me know what all I will need to take the certs. All the stuff I have is OSHA compliant as I live in Oregon, USA, so I doubt it will be EN certified. I own a 372XP and an Echo cs-520. I do have safety chain for both, are these required? I know chaps won't do, and likely my helmet won't suffice. I intend to get the necessary equipment and containers in Ireland or on line whilst in Ireland. So what shall I procure, and where is the best place to get it?

 

Obliged!

Go onto NPTC.ORG.UK go to assessment schedules and download the CS30 and CS31 schedules.

 

 

Where in ireland are you doing the course? Choose the training centre carefully, some will let you hire equipment/ppe.

 

Try to do the training course as well as the CS tests, this will (hopefully) prove to be useful in whats required.

 

Good Luck!

Thanks for the response. I think I have the gear sorted now. I am gonna either try for TCI or Coillte in Ireland.

I spoke with Chris - he seems to really be on the ball. I'll likely go with him. Thanks a bunch for the ref.
