Is this course right for site teams?

It's built for that buyer profile. The paperwork and cohorting are tuned to what site teams are usually measured on.

Is forklift accredited?

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

Is it worth running a cohort for 1–2 operators?

Yes — small cohorts work in Newburgh because travel from Aboyne is short. We don't charge a minimum-headcount premium.

How much does forklift cost for a team in Newburgh?

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.

What evidence do you return?

Photo-ID certificate, assessment record, regulation mapping and refresher-due date. Sent to whichever HR / training system you use.
