FAQs
- What happens if an operator fails?
- We re-coach on the spot where possible and re-assess; if the gap is bigger we plan a short repeat block rather than a full re-run.
- 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.
- Have you worked with sites near Cove Bay before?
- Regularly — we work around Cove Industrial Estate, Souter Head Industrial Estate. That means we already know the gate, induction and permit routine, so the cohort starts on time.
- How long does manual handling take?
- For refresher cohorts most operators clear inside a day; novice candidates need longer. We plan duration around your team's prior experience, not a default course length.
- Can you build a fleet schedule across multiple yards?
- Yes. We cohort across yards in the same week so the same standard is evidenced fleet-wide and refresher windows line up.
