How experienced are the instructors?

Our instructors are operator-trained, audit-experienced and have decades on NE Scotland sites — not classroom-only.

Does local site context change how the day runs?

Moray administrative centre on the Speyside / coast crossroads. That shapes the practical: we plan around the traffic, pedestrian flow and access constraints your Elgin (eastern edge) operation deals with, instead of a flat training-ground layout.

Which regulations does MEWP map to here?

Work at Height Regulations 2005 and LOLER 1998. We print the mapping on the evidence pack so the construction client or principal contractor can tie the certificate to the reg they cited.

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.

Do you cover sites near Elgin (eastern edge)?

Yes — the same instructors cover the surrounding NE Scotland area weekly from Aboyne, so adjacent-yard cohorts add little to no travel cost.
