FAQs
- Will our Cove Bay site suit on-site delivery?
- Cove Bay sites are mostly small fabrication units, transport depots, marine kit yards, which suits on-site delivery well — we need a safe practical area, a room or cabin for theory, and access for our vehicle off the A90.
- How far do you travel to Cove Bay?
- 34 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base, ~52 mins via A90. Short travel is why single-operator cohorts in Cove Bay 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.
- Do you cover sites near Cove Bay?
- Yes — the same instructors cover the surrounding NE Scotland area weekly from Aboyne, so adjacent-yard cohorts add little to no travel cost.
- Can novice and refresher run in the same cohort?
- Yes. We run mixed cohorts routinely — the instructor splits the day so novice candidates aren't slowed by refresher assessment.
