What's the lead time?

Most Ellon Industrial Estate bookings go in within 5–10 working days. Audit-deadline cover regularly lands inside a week.

Do you train outdoors year-round in Ellon Industrial Estate?

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 manual handling on-site in Ellon Industrial Estate?

Yes — we travel to your yard or site in Ellon Industrial Estate, around 40 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base. On-site delivery means the assessment is on your kit, not a generic test ground.

How often is refresher training required?

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