Will our Torphins site suit on-site delivery?

Torphins sites are mostly joinery workshops, small contractor yards, 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 A980.

How far do you travel to Torphins?

7 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base, ~13 mins via A980. Short travel is why single-operator cohorts in Torphins are still economic for us to 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.

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.
