Have I been too ambitious??

[Djvicke1]

I have just completed my CS38 training and have my assessment day in two weeks. However, next week I have my 30/31 training with the assessment day next to my CS38 assessment day... I'm just worried that there will be too much to take on board and I will end up failing one or both of them.

 

I'm happy with my climbing but only have a basic knowledge and experience in the use of chainsaws, is there a lot to learn on 30/31?

 

Will I be struggling doing the assessments a week later in 2 days next to each other?

 

Any help and advice greatly appreciated, Cheers.

No need to worry,don't try and read up on both courses at same time. Just go with the flow and just remember that on each day of you assessment the aseser will help you a lot to push you through. You will only fail if you are a complete numty which am sure you are not. Just relax and don't put pressure on yourself it's all about self confidence. You'll be fine,good luck and let us know how you get on.

it sounds like a great oppurtunity to enjoy yourself.

Relax..enjoy it and use common sense.

You will be fine, don't rush it or try to impress your assessor as they have seen it all before. good luck

Thanks for the advice everyone! Feel more confident about it now. Ive been revising and feel pretty good with the climbing so just going to immerse myself in chainsaw use next week. Will let you know how I get on after the assessments.

Remember that some questions and answers are the same in both assessments, so there's less to remember for the second assessment 8)

concentration is the key brother.you ll be fine as long as you listen and remember..good luck

go slow, be methodical, relax and enjoy.

 

friend went for 30/31 and tried to do it quick to impress assessor, bad plan. you have plenty of time so use it. talk through everything in your head and if it seems stupid, it most likely is so think twice. safety is key so slow and steady is good.
