I need 3 friends to do a chainaw course with!
Its with David Rossney - who trained Mike
Its an ITA course with trees up to 8\".
David says, \'ITA stands for integrated training and assessment which differentiates it from the separate NPTC system. It does provide HSE approved coverage for working as an effective contractor, but obviously within the parameters of the course, in particular the size limit of 8\" trees. The HSE stipulated that those felling trees above this size needed to go through the relevant NPTC assessment. Remember the qualification is for 5 years as opposed to life for the NPTC system, although there is always a presumption that refresher training will be undertaken shortly after or before 5 years has elapsed.\'
The exact cost of the ITA 8\" course is 4 days at £80 per day per person if we get a group of 4. The Lantra registration and assessment stuff is on top of this and comes to £50 per person. The certificate is valid for 5 years.
ok, thats all very technical. Anyone out there want to do this course?
