Can we use our own equipment?

We strongly recommend it. Training on your machines means the assessment evidences how your operators actually work.

How far do you travel to Kintore?

25 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base, ~40 mins via A96. Short travel is why single-operator cohorts in Kintore are still economic for us to run.

Will our Kintore site suit on-site delivery?

Kintore sites are mostly logistics warehouses, rail-adjacent compounds, which suits on-site delivery well — we need a safe practical area, a room or cabin for theory, and access for our vehicle off the A96.

Can you cohort operators with weaker English?

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

How often is refresher training required?

Refresher cycles typically run every 3 years, sooner if a near-miss, machine change or audit finding triggers it.

Audit findings this prevents

Permits issued but never closed out — fails the simplest CDM audit
Site rules briefed verbally, never signed, no audit trail
Visiting contractors signed in but not inducted on site-specific risks

Why teams in Kintore book this

Plant operator competence in Kintore is mostly about evidence. Site Safety Training closes the gap between your operators' real-world ability and the certificate the auditor wants to see — without losing the operators for a week off-site.
