Do you do follow-up observation visits?

Yes — short post-course observation visits are a cheap way to lock in the behaviour change auditors actually want to see.

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.

How far do you travel to Insch?

27 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base, ~45 mins via A96/B992. Short travel is why single-operator cohorts in Insch are still economic for us to run.

What evidence do you return?

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

What if we need to rebook?

We hold dates flexibly. If site conditions change, we move the cohort — there's no rebooking fee for genuine site reasons.
