NPTC's do they need tightening/stricter assesment?


Recommended Posts

Very intersting topic and its not just the arb industry suffering from this.

when i took my cs 38 i did everything that was asked of me on the day. I passed but with a note to improve branch walking.

next 2 fellas were real good and flew through, the final chap on course was ok not a youngster but he failed as instructor wasnt confident with him.

This chap got the injured climber down but did miss one or 2 points and the person being resuced said he was most nervous of this one person out of all of us.

i refused to be signed rescuse for a climber on several occassion because i was concerned if i had to i wouldnt be able to.

After 4 years of holding cs 38 i could potentially be a signed rescue for a climber but i havnt climbed in 3 years!!

 

was on a electrical course the other week a Portable Appliance Testing. the instructor was hopeless all he did was read from a book, one or 2 lads on the course didnt have a clue on what to do and what was right or wrong but we all got a pass!!

I think there should be some on course assesments going on for the assesors.

especially if it could be done without assesor knowing.

keep em on their toes!
