I am doing my Lantra chipper course on Mon I also did Lantra training /assessment for brushcutter too but did NPTC assessments for all my chainsaw and climbing tickets . I believe the training is exactly the same but with Lantra you do the assessment as you go in the one day . You could still do an NPTC assessment at a later date for the chipper with your lantra training should you ever want to but Lantra assessment is all you need for chipper burshcutter stump griding ect.

NPTC only do assessments which should be independent, you then get a certificate of competence. A Lantra course will equip you for NPTC, equally you can be trained by anyone, or even self taught and still pass. HSE only advise some sort of training with chippers

 

Lantra do training and ITA which is Intergrated Training Assessment, the certificate you get is for attendence not competence.
