Quad bike training/certification required...

[Pete Hart]

Hi all, can anyone put me in touch with a trainer/assessor who can sort me out with nptc or lantra quad bike.

I'm in Dorset but willing to travel. I need it for an FC contract.

Many thanks in advance,

Pete.

Call 01597 810306 - I don't remember the name of the organisation but they are based somewhere in mid Wales or the borders. I recently needed an NPTC quad assessment ASAP and was happy to pay the necessary and travel anywhere in the UK to get it. I rang every training provider I could find, Lantra, the NPTC, put a request on here etc etc. Totally hopeless - the best I was offered was TKF and the girl on the phone quoted me £400 plus bike hire and then still couldn't be bothered to try to arrange anything. A Gator hire company passed me the number above, they lined up an assessor to come to my yard early on the following Saturday morning, he duly turned up and sorted me a quad and tractor assessment - it was all good and the right money! The bonkers thing was that he is an assessor at the local Ag college who were my first port of call, and they flatly stated that they couldn't do anything for a couple of months...

NPTC as an organisation are yet again a total waste of time IMO - there should be a database of assessors somewhere to allow people to arrange assessments with assessors. The training facilities appear to largely have no flexibility and don't seem to care!
