    evening all, 13 yr ago did chain saw ticket Looked into local courses there was NPTC at local collage or Lantra with private training company @ about £100 cheaper. At the time was told 100% the only difference between the Lantra course I did and the NPTC, (both covered the same things) was that the Forestry Com (FC)did not accept the Lantra 1. So all ok just dont ask FC for job. A few trees felled (not climbed) later and milesssssssssss of hedges laid later, if I go looking for a bit of ground work. Is the ticket sat in front of me worth the paper its written on ??? Lantra Certifcate of Basic Training Chainsaws- Maintenance- Cross-cutting, felling small trees
