Which regulations does telehandler map to here?

LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998. We print the mapping on the evidence pack so the construction client or principal contractor can tie the certificate to the reg they cited.

Does local site context change how the day runs?

Mearns coastal town with harbour, A90 logistics and harvest hubs. That shapes the practical: we plan around the traffic, pedestrian flow and access constraints your Stonehaven yards operation deals with, instead of a flat training-ground layout.

Is this course right for site teams?

It's built for that buyer profile. The paperwork and cohorting are tuned to what site teams are usually measured on.

Is telehandler accredited?

Yes — accredited certificates aligned with LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998 are issued to successful candidates.

Is it worth running a cohort for 1–2 operators?

Yes — small cohorts work in Stonehaven yards because travel from Aboyne is short. We don't charge a minimum-headcount premium.
