Do you deliver MEWP on-site in Newtonhill?

Yes — we travel to your yard or site in Newtonhill, around 38 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base. On-site delivery means the assessment is on your kit, not a generic test ground.

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 train outdoors year-round in Newtonhill?

Yes — we plan the day around weather windows. NE Scotland conditions are exactly what your operators face anyway.

What's the lead time?

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

Can you cohort operators with weaker English?

Yes — we adjust pace and use translated handouts where needed. Assessment is competence-based, not language-based.
