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.

What if we need to rebook?

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.

Is forklift accredited?

Yes — accredited certificates aligned with PUWER 1998 and HSE L117 Approved Code of Practice are issued to successful candidates.
