Certificate of competence

[case mx270]

In 1995 I took a certificate of competence in chainsaw operations and was assessed in units 10 and 11 what does these units equate to in modern terms and does my certificate allow me to do further units ? Thanks

I did the same but when I did my cs38 the instructor told me it wasn't valid as it wasn't nptc assessor

Unit 10 - maintaining the chain saw

Unit 11 - Felling, de-limbing & cross-cutting trees less than guide bar length (450mm/18")

Would have been an NPTC assessor but these units are no longer accepted as pre-requisites for the current qualifications. Unit 11 didn't include the take down of hung up trees (separate unit 14) which is now a mandatory part of tree felling qualification.

 

Nearest current equivalents:

Chainsaw maintenance & cross-cutting

Felling & processing trees up to 380mm - NB see comment about hung up trees above
