NPCT old qualification codes...any one have them at hand?

[iainarkle]

Hi all,

I'm after a list of the corresponding qualification / certificate codes for the old NPTC Chainsaw assessments. I know this is on the back of the old certificates but I cannot put my hands on one until next week!!!

 

The ones I'm after are Chainsaw assessment 10 through 16. For example:

Is the old 10 & 11 equivalent to CS30 & CS31?

 

One other point of interest is when they changed. Do you know and is there any legislative requirement to update the assessment. My insurer is happy with the old ones!

 

Thanks in advance.

Cheers Bushcutter. Your search criteria is clearly better than mine...

i just googled CS10 and that was first on the list. As for updateds the HSE recommend that you do refresher training every 5 years as a professional user and 3 years as a part time one. Refresher training can take the form of adding a new unit or just doing a refresher course.

 

NPTC | FAQs | When is a chainsaw refresher training required? this may be of interest. CS10 in the blue book?

 

I see on your website that your looking for s/e people...is that still current?

Hi BC, still looking. Its odd bits and pieces (a coupe of days a week) at the moment until the licenses for some larger single select and line thinning contracts come through. In real terms the bigger stuff wont be signed until June / July time.

Give me a call if you have something in mind.

Thanks i'm thinking about going full time s/e. I'll email you a CV over later tonight.

Old certs are a touchy subject

as the assessment criteria was different

ie was yours done by an independent assessor rather than the trainer

Also the assessment criteria has changed a fair bit

The arb association would want you to update as would HSE

But if your happy and the insurance company are happy then all well and good

And as previously said they recomend updates within 5 yrs for regular users and 3 for casual users.
