What's the lead time?

Do you train outdoors year-round in Elgin (eastern edge)?

Yes — we plan the day around weather windows. NE Scotland conditions are exactly what your operators face anyway.

Will a principal accept this for a construction site?

Yes — the certificate maps to the regs the principal's auditor cites, and we'll talk to the principal's HSE team directly if useful.

Do you deliver forklift on-site in Elgin (eastern edge)?

Yes — we travel to your yard or site in Elgin (eastern edge), around 55 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base. On-site delivery means the assessment is on your kit, not a generic test ground.

Refresher cycles typically run every 3 years, sooner if a near-miss, machine change or audit finding triggers it.
