Will a principal accept this for a construction site?

Yes — the certificate maps to the regs the principal's auditor cites, and we'll talk to the principal's HSE team directly if useful.

Do you deliver working at height on-site in Hill of Banchory?

Yes — we travel to your yard or site in Hill of Banchory, around 11 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base. On-site delivery means the assessment is on your kit, not a generic test ground.

What's the lead time?

Most Hill of Banchory bookings go in within 5–10 working days. Audit-deadline cover regularly lands inside a week.

Do you train outdoors year-round in Hill of Banchory?

Yes — we plan the day around weather windows. NE Scotland conditions are exactly what your operators face anyway.

Can we use our own equipment?

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