FAQs

- We hold dates flexibly. If site conditions change, we move the cohort — there's no rebooking fee for genuine site reasons.
- Can you cover night or weekend shifts?
- Yes — we routinely cohort sessions around shift handovers and weekend possessions, with no shift premium.
- Do you do follow-up observation visits?
- Yes — short post-course observation visits are a cheap way to lock in the behaviour change auditors actually want to see.
- What evidence do you return?
- Photo-ID certificate, assessment record, regulation mapping and refresher-due date. Sent to whichever HR / training system you use.
- How much does forklift cost for a team in Aboyne yards?
- Day rates for forklift typically fall inside the band the course brief lists. Cohort size, novice/refresher split and travel are the main drivers — we send a fixed price, not a day rate × headcount.
