  1. yeh gained my 38 with 39 & 40 February. i did indeed with 16 strand 13mm still looking for work so whilst i have money spare wanted to grab myself some kit and have a play around out the back basically. and when works comes up i will feel alot more comfortable and have the gear to offer along with myself
  2. the climbing is new to me so i don't have my own preference, I've been sitting quietly listening to you all talk zig zag what size rope to use etc... the money isn't my biggest worry its the experience so i don't mind spending a little more giving me the advantage to mix it up and try a few things in the long run
  3. great feeling getting it out the way aint it
  4. Hi guys again Looking for full time work as a climber or will give up my weekends for work so i can gain the experience even if you know someone and can point me in right direction would appreciate that............ feeling like an outsider! 30,31,38,39,40 , PTS as well for railway work Own PPE and will hopefully have rope and harness by end of week (going to do a little climbing in trees out back to help with my climbing ) willing to travel a little way say upto 30 maybe 45mins weekend maybe 1hr, hour and half for long period of work full time if it looks like it would work in my benefit i.e fuel cost etc Cheers Guys
  5. Looking to get my own rope. wanted a little advice on quality over price really see if im on the right track looking more in the direction of 24 strand ........ New England Tachyon, colour is very vibrant but the price is up there
  6. Less of the sarcasm! My minutes renew tomorrow and I'm not going to be walking off track either to make a call at the moment until my shift is over, so I was only expressing my interest, appreciate the constructive criticism Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  7. so guy's when it comes to work over in Canada or California would you say the pay is decent in comparison to what you'd receive over here to regards of living cost.. One of the lads from by me is over there met a bird in Thailand( she's a US chick not a thai thing lol) but he said he could help me out with visa etc but im looking at getting a stack of money behind and experience before i make a move like that for good.
  8. I did a while back, maybe busy with work
  9. Hi guys, Short & sweet looking for work to gain experience as a climber also hold my PTS ticket. I have my own PPE Cheers Guys
  10. Thats ok then i have basic cscs, need to apply for card hopefully its still in date
  11. When an arb/climbing job is posted requiring cscs, are they after just plain cscs operative which allows you entry on to site or because of the climbing aspect down to site H&S do they want a working at height cscs Sounds like a stupid question but I am thinking that with the climbing you have the h&s of working at height covered its just gaining entry to site? Over and out
  12. Positions still available? if so PM me with details Cheers

  14. Hi guys, Right i can see how the new change works and corresponds with the old CS will the new structure of the award given by City & guilds for all related chainsaw Qualifications have any affect apart from the appearance from it being cs.. to a,b,c,d........ Me and my colleague just want to clear up any doubts that we have on the new qualification whether it will affect us in anyway shape or form come the future, I can't see anything apart from how it would appear. regarding work oversea's and do they know of changes etc etc no need to hold off with anymore training until march ?? will City & guilds update previous qualifications so they co inside with the new structure if there is not any difference apart from appearance and that you have the relevant cs so for example if i had cs 30 & 31 could i have my award on my proficiency card updated to C & D so its upto date.
  15. Cheers for reply will give them go, Arbocraft - £800 seems steep but they do 38,39 & 40 for £1350 i'll take a look into that one
  16. yep you got it and they will be categorized as letters now instead of cs_ _
  17. also if taking on training now after the proposed date of change will you automatically be awarded back with the new letters rather than cs if its the NPTC training you do and not lantra ?
  18. Does anyone know of any cs38 training and assessment now before the new year? will travel a short distance within hour ?? would really like to get it out of the way done and dusted before the new year whilst work is quiet rather than take time off Cheers Guys
  19. Hi guys, I'm looking at getting into tree/arb work Currently have no qualifications so will have to start at the bottom. What i am after is help with whats the best for me....... I have been told that if i can find and secure a job position that i will be able to receive funding for course's. I live in Cardiff 25 young and fit I have a Pts,Lookout tickets along with small tools to do with working within the railway infrastructure as you could say. prior to that i did landscaping for two years so i have always worked with a hands on approach So any names numbers and jobs near or within my location i would be interested in as i can only guess that a lot of you are in the know appreciate any help and advice thanks in advance
