Award in Felling and Processing Trees over 380mm

I did my CS32 in February 2011, and I've just got my certificate out and it clearly says "Level 2".

 

However, I've been looking at NPTC's qualification structure to determine which qualification covers severing uprooted or windblown trees [which I have an interest in adding to my ticket], and I noticed they've given it a thorough shuffling since 2011

Now, as 0021-11, the course under exactly the same description [see title] is listed as a Level 3... !?

 

Is the training/assessment any different?

 

I wouldn't mind a certificate that actually said "Level 3" on it. What would I need to do in order to get one?

Would it cost much?

I'm getting tired of bloody bureaucrats moving the line to continuously extort people. Jeez.

I did the cs 34 single wind blower/uprooted tree and I'm sure that was only a 2!! I'll have to check tomorrow bud, the only one I knew on was the Cs41 being a 3 as I've just passed the course 2/3weeks ago.

yep, looks like they've done you over too. My guess is, CS34 was a Level 2 and CS35 a Level 3.

 

They've now combined the 2 under one unit, 0021-02. In other words, if you wanted the Level 3 qual in severing multiple uprooted/windblown trees, you'd have to dish out to do a course that covers the equivalent of a unit you've already done and paid for.
