Initial training must be undertaken by a qualified instructor, and then all candidates have to be independently assessed by the National Proficiency Test Council. All courses offered by Kingswood Training Services are overseen by Lantra, which is a government body that tests instructors (of environmental and land-based industries) and provides quality assurance for the candidate. We will book your assessment for you at the end of your course, and an NPTC assessor will be appointed to examine your competence. We are proud of the fact that our pass rate is currently well over 90%.
There are some ancillary courses which do not require independent assessment. These are referred to as ITA courses (Integrated Training and Assessment), and the instructor can issue a certificate of competence if he judges that the candidate has met the skill criteria. These are listed separately from the chainsaw courses, and include Use of Woodchippers, Stumpgrinders, Brushcutters etc.
