Work based diploma through Nptc credits ?
Pommie replied to bear_macgregor205's topic in Training & education
The City & Guilds Work based diploma is more than just an accumulation of nptc units. It is a credit based qualification but is backed up by a portfolio of work alongside a minimum of delivered classroom delivery and guided learning hours. For more information call Linda Hope @ Capel Manor she can give you ALL the ins and outs -

Should it stay or should it go?
Pommie replied to Chunkymunky's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
The question is how often is the path used by how many, my initial thought is to leave it as it is. What is the likelihood of it failing and hitting someone ? -
Check that the seam is not overly worn. ime people leave them running on the floor and wear down the alloy same with the oil tank. If you re unsure about disassembly take photos as you go

My understanding of this is it will be launched at the new entrants into Arb, not us old codgers. I gave a grilling to one of the panel who gave a talk to our committee about this scheme. He answered me with " If we want our industry to get government funding/recognition in the future we as an industry HAVE to develop this. Failure to do so is not an option." I have seen many changes in the last 25 years most good some not so. But change is inevitable. If we refuse to support the principle behind the work these guys are doing we risk jeopardising the forward momentum WE have made as an industry in the recent past. Agreed tree work will continue and some will be good and some will be down right awful, but will we be recognised as the highly skilled and dedicated professionals we are ?? AA, ISA, ICF in or out it doesn't matter.

You ve opened a can of worms here. I ll be the first to bite. Cs units are certs of competence to use equipment or carry out an activity. I often see "Fully Qualified " on adverts and web pages, and they refer to their NPTC s. when I see Fully qualified I think 'When and where did you get your Phd ?' In answer to your question Yes you can call yourself a Tree Surgeon. In the same way some who has just passed their driving test is a qualified driver, experience now thats a different matter.
