How long does site safety take?

For refresher cohorts most operators clear inside a day; novice candidates need longer. We plan duration around your team's prior experience, not a default course length.

What happens if an operator fails?

We re-coach on the spot where possible and re-assess; if the gap is bigger we plan a short repeat block rather than a full re-run.

Will this pass a principal-contractor audit?

The course is built around the evidence auditors actually ask for: operator photo ID, assessment date, regulation mapping and refresher window. We return the pack inside the working week.

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.

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.
