Do you cover sites near Dyce?

Yes — the same instructors cover the surrounding NE Scotland area weekly from Aboyne, so adjacent-yard cohorts add little to no travel cost.

Which regulations does forklift map to here?

PUWER 1998 and HSE L117 Approved Code of Practice. We print the mapping on the evidence pack so the construction client or principal contractor can tie the certificate to the reg they cited.

How far do you travel to Dyce?

36 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base, ~55 mins via A93/A944. Short travel is why single-operator cohorts in Dyce are still economic for us to run.

What happens if the weather closes the site?

We carry on with theory and assessment indoors where possible; if the practical isn't safe we re-plan the practical day — no extra charge.

How experienced are the instructors?

Our instructors are operator-trained, audit-experienced and have decades on NE Scotland sites — not classroom-only.
