This is the ideal Programme for someone who has aspirations of becoming a City & Guilds assessor or a Lantra Awards Instructor.
Our Programme follows the Lantra Awards and City & Guilds format, which starts with a focus on ground based chainsaw skills.
Rationale
The whole application process can appear daunting, unless you know and have the support of an exisitng City & Guilds assessor or a Lantra Awards Instructor.
With over 30 years in the Forestry and Arb industry and 20 years training and assessing experience, Scott is in a great position to mentor you. He is passionate about supporting people to develop their skills and experience; empowering people to realise their potential and promoting high standards throughout the industry.

Why is the above needed?
