Anyone know of any NPTC quad courses being held or is anyone holding any in the near future in south west Scotland willing to travel further but only one I can find is sparsholt and that's a bit far.

Thanks,
David
 
Hi David

We are now offering NPTC certification for quad and Argo. We can also do preparation sessions if you feel that would be helpful.

We normally say we need 4 people to run something but if it's just an assessment and you aren't in a particular rush we could probably sort something out when we're in your area.

Hope this helps but please PM if you want to discuss.

Thanks

James
 
If you're struggling for numbers davidm, I could get potentially 3 guys to make up the difference.

I've been looking at various providers but timing isn't great with working offshore so get in touch if you need some bodies.

NPTC courses can be done at Borders College, Newtown St Boswells. Ive done both sit in and sit astride there!
 
My mate does them, he's a self employed instructor, infact i'm going round to drop his flask off the nite so will have a word.

Can u provide ground and or bike?

Did you do it all in one day, inclusive of test Spanielmad?

The info I received from Borders was their course comprised of a 1 day training course follwed by a 1hr test at a different date

I'd rather do it all in one hit, saves time, travel etc etc

James pm inbound

Rigboot this is the problem I'm having as I'm looking for myself it's hard to find any dates where anyone has a space. If you wish to pm me when suits and we could all get in touch with James at wms training to organise something.

Sorry countrryboy looking for somewhere to go.

Im sure if you have a word with the College about it, something could be sorted out. Or if you have ATV experience, I think the test can be done on its own!
I did mine whilst at college, was an afternoons training and then the test.
 
He may be able to organise/rent quads and come to u, i have heard him on about renting them in the past

Part of the problem (atleast with the chainsaws) was the same instructor who instructed u could not test u, why u quite often have to go back a seperate day when a different instructor is there

The Barony will be closer (Parkgate nr Dumfries), i take it Achincuive near Ayr somewhere? is now defunct as a training college? there is also Elmwood in Fife dunno if any closer/handier to u, St Boswells is a pain to drive to from the west, good gun shop thou
 
Countryboy - spot on - needs to be someone different who gives you tuition from the person who assesses you under NPTC rules - this is the same for absolutely all their courses.

This is is part of the difficulty of organising these events - you really need two guys who are working closely together to get it right and minimise the time involved!

if you're fairly proficient then it's more of a refresher and check of knowledge that's needed prior to the assessment.
 
Hi guys,

I am an NPTC quad assessor. however I'm south of the border. (Cheshire) so if you get stuck them pm me as may be able to help out.

although I cant do anything about the assessment fees I can enter discussion about stalking in exchange for training....
