Fmoc training

[treedave]

Anyone know people/places to go for forestry machine training and or assesment. I need a couple of quotes for a grant application, have already got one from Barony. Any other ideas/suggestions?

What ones you looking at doing?

 

If your thinking of doing 6/8 wheel harvesters/forwarders then your looking at about £150 quid for the skills check then 1500 quid a weeks short course and it can take upto 2 weeks! Can't remember where i got the quote from think it was Barony but they don't have a harvester.

 

If you your looking tractor based stuff then it' a little more afordable. I'd contact a few NPTC assessor and see if they can do it on a day rate. My forwarder was 3 days 2 on the trailer one doing the base unit/theory. They came to the yard too cutting out on travel/accomerdation charges.

I'll dig Dick Bradshaws number out tomorrow and give you a bell. He did the assessment for me. He might be able to point you in the direction?
