Yes — accredited certificates aligned with Work at Height Regulations 2005 and LOLER 1998 are issued to successful candidates.

Is this course right for site teams?

It's built for that buyer profile. The paperwork and cohorting are tuned to what site teams are usually measured on.

How much does MEWP cost for a team in Torphins?

Day rates for MEWP typically fall inside the band the course brief lists. Cohort size, novice/refresher split and travel are the main drivers — we send a fixed price, not a day rate × headcount.

Is it worth running a cohort for 1–2 operators?

Yes — small cohorts work in Torphins because travel from Aboyne is short. We don't charge a minimum-headcount premium.

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.

Typical MEWP scenarios on Torphins sites

Scenario 1
Boom-lift work near live overhead lines and the 9 m exclusion rule
Scenario 2
Scissor on a mezzanine where loadings need checking before deployment
Scenario 3
Wind-speed call: 12.5 m/s manufacturer limit vs the day's gust forecast

Audit findings this prevents

No rescue plan on file — IPAF and HSE inspectors ask for this every visit
Harness clipped to the basket rail instead of the manufacturer anchor
Outriggers deployed onto soft ground without a spreader plate
