    Yeah I no it happends mate this is just an utterly confusing thread. I thought NPTC did the training to but to be honest Im not fussed its not an interesting subject its one full of confusion and 'bang your head against a wall' big co operation rubbish where they change the rules to suit themselves. As long as I get good trianing and a fair assesment then I could'nt give a monkeys who ran the training or assesment
  2. Frankie Lawrence
    So if one college instructor trains 4 students and then gets another assecor who works for the college that is wrong? or do you mean the trainer asseses his trainees?
  3. Frankie Lawrence
    To be honest I wouldnt know you just seem to be avoiding my questions about the thread and creating new questions and its confusing to say the least. where are my manners welcome to arbtalk
  4. Frankie Lawrence
    So this thread is now about the training standerds at colleges not about how arbtalkers refer wrongly to NPTC? So your saying all the colleges up and down the country train people incorrectly so the fact that a good number of people on here train through colleges and stilll have NPTC 'tickets?
  5. Frankie Lawrence
    I thought the same:confused1: there a funny bunch
  6. Frankie Lawrence
    Think ill still refer to all of it as NPTC
  7. Frankie Lawrence
    right think I may be understand so the training is provided or governern bodied by lantra but the NPTC govern the assesments?
  8. Frankie Lawrence
    So you have done your assesment with no prior training from a 'professional trainer' and still passed? or are you confusiing me further?
