Do you cover sites near Newtonhill?

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

What happens if the weather closes the site?

We carry on with theory and assessment indoors where possible; if the practical isn't safe we re-plan the practical day — no extra charge.

How experienced are the instructors?

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

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.

Can you build a fleet schedule across multiple yards?

Yes. We cohort across yards in the same week so the same standard is evidenced fleet-wide and refresher windows line up.

Typical mobile crane scenarios on Newtonhill sites

Scenario 1
Tandem lift planning with two cranes and a single AP
Scenario 2
Ground bearing pressure check on a yard with unknown made-up fill
Scenario 3
Lifting over a live road or rail — exclusion zone, banksman positioning

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
