Can you cover night or weekend shifts?

Yes — we routinely cohort sessions around shift handovers and weekend possessions, with no shift premium.

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.

What evidence do you return?

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

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.

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

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

Why teams in Altens book this

Most of the Mobile Crane Training bookings we take from Altens land because of one thing: competence paperwork fails an audit faster than people expect. We run the course on your site, against your equipment, and return paperwork inside the working week.

Altens on the ground: South Aberdeen energy-supply estate with subsea fabrication yards. Typical buildings: fabrication sheds, supply-base yards, subsea kit pads.

Audit findings this prevents

No written lift plan for a 'routine' lift — fails almost every BS 7121 audit
Outriggers not fully extended because of yard width — capacity halved silently
AP and supervisor roles combined in one person, which BS 7121 prohibits
