LANTRA climbing ticket question

[Salix Tree & Countryside]

When i did my climbing ticket a few moons ago , I did it with lantra as a combined course and assessement. The course was initially Tree climbing with aerial rescue, which we did and it took a week, but those of us on the course understood it to be using the saw in the tree, and so after some complaints and arguments we were offered another course free of charge which was - Tree climbing with aerial rescue including use of chainsaw in the tree. So we did this, and passed and got the tickets.......so in total i did 2 sets of training.....at the time LANTRA and NPTC was in competition if you like, and it was considered that the Lantra route was sort of a lesser ticket, but still as valid.

Question:

 

Where do I now stand in terms of certification ? I would like to do a CS 40/41, but pre reqs are 38/39, do my tickets count ?

I wouldn't really want to do 38/39 again as such, as money is tight, so selecting useful training is even more important.........

 

Any thoughts peeps...........

Whats on your cert??

 

I did mine in 1996 and that was NPTC back then, is your even older??

2001 mate, i did it through a previous employer, and Millhouse training in Skelmersdale. My CS 30/31/32 are NPTC, but because it was cheaper going down the Lantra route, I was told to do that !!

I think you will find that you only have a certificate of attendance.

I am not sure if back in 2001 Lantra did an ITA course I don't think they did,

If they did it's only valid for 5 years,

hi mark its fairly simple if you have certificates of competence from NPTC for CS38-39 then you are sorted if you have anything with lantra on your not lantra issue certs for training only and dont qualify as prerequisits
