Which "instructors course" is this then? Thought the nptc assess but don't instruct and lantra instruct and assess in the mish mash of training and assessment.

I'm a Lantra registered instructor and never bothered with becoming an assessor for my own reasons for four years. Struggling to get assessors at the moment though so i put in application to become one, booked a verifier for technical evaluation (£250) for the day (just chainsaw and felling), passed it no worries, booked on the next, four day course to fill in paper work at Stoneleigh and got told that they are not taking new assessors for c.s.units for the forseeable future.

 

Ok, so why did you take £250 off me for a tech evaluation, plus a days wages lost, plus travel to south wales, plus overnighter etc to be told i can't go any further if you knew that before you weren't taking any on?

 

That was in July and still no dates booked to complete the long and convoluted road to assessing.

Bank on £1500ish for the assessor process and £2000ish for the Lantra process.

 

Ring NPTC at stonleigh and speak to Ruth for cs units assessor application and process details and Lantra house for the Lantra process.

 

Lantra involves a 5 day instructional techniques course, technical evaluation on each unit to train, arb association health and safety course, 5 day First aid at work course etc etc etc.

 

Benifits of Lantra is if you run their courses, their insurance covers you for training. erm, thats it really.

 

May be it's just me, but i think it's a bit silly! (just miffed at the lack of organisation and them taking money for something i can't complete until they work out what they are doing)

 

Sorry NPTC:confused1:
