Instructor's Competition

[scotspine1]

To all arb instructors (UK based)

 

I've got a trainee who needs to obtain some formal climbing training/assessments (NPTC units). I'm trying to find an excellent instructor or company who can provide this training. I'd be satisfied to pay good money for this service but I need to know how good the instructor is.

 

If companies or individuals can provide me with recent photos and/or videos of themselves carrying out large treework operations (rigging, felling and pruning), this will help me assess your current skill level before I decide on who to use.

 

Please post any videos or pics in this thread.

 

Thanks

 

Tim Craig

If you are assessing the assessors Tim then why aren't you doing the training

Just want to say thanks for the replies so far (5 in total) albeit via the pm system. Of the 3 videos....all were excellent, and the pics show there are some real quality instructors out there who use their skills to great effect (the crown reduction shots were particularly good). Would have no problem using any of these companies from what I've seen.

 

Will be in touch soon.

 

Thanks again

All due respect Tim but I would say whoever sent in vids must be desperate for work. I personally would have taken it as an insult that you find training providers lacking, I would have told you to "f" right off.

 

No offence intended

AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where there really ANY replies or vids or pic's

[bob]

tbh if all your wanting is training to get lads through the nptc test any instructor should be fine as selection and assessment is harsh

i could of understood this thread if you wanted an advanced dismantling course

but not for an nptc assessment level

 

 

p s cheers big ammer

and why limit it to UK based trainers?
