Can you cohort operators with weaker English?

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

Can we use our own equipment?

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

Will this satisfy our insurer?

Yes — the accredited certificate plus evidence pack is the standard underwriters accept for the operator-competence renewal question.

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.

Do you deliver telehandler on-site in Aboyne yards?

Yes — we travel to your yard or site in Aboyne yards, around 0 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base. On-site delivery means the assessment is on your kit, not a generic test ground.

Audit findings this prevents

Operating outside the load chart because the boom angle was eyeballed
Forgetting that a man-cage requires a thorough examination every 6 months, not 12
Pulling away with a raised load on uneven ground — the top cause of tip-overs

Why teams in Aboyne yards book this

Most of the Telehandler Training bookings we take from Aboyne yards 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.

Aboyne yards on the ground: Our Deeside HQ — Aboyne sits in AB34, surrounded by sporting estates. Typical buildings: estate yards, small fabrication, agri buildings.
