    6th Jan 2025

for aspiring instructors and assessors

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.                      

 

Is this Mentoring Programme suitable for me?

  • Time in industry – this is generally suited for someone who has been in the industry for at least 10 years. You are more likely to have seen a wide range of equipment / scenarios
  • Range of experience – you may have worked in forestry / arboriculture / horticulture / or have transferable skills from other sectors
  • Depth of experience – what level of technical detail have you been involved in?
  • Progress in industry – has this been self-led or company led? This Programme will suit someone who is self-motivated.

 

Why is the above needed?

As an instructor or assessor, you will want confidence and credibility when supporting other experienced professionals, whether on assessment, a refresher or a course. However, there are always exceptions, so please talk to us, if you have any queries.
