FAQs
- Do you cover sites near Inverurie / Thainstone?
- Yes — the same instructors cover the surrounding NE Scotland area weekly from Aboyne, so adjacent-yard cohorts add little to no travel cost.
- Have you worked with sites near Inverurie / Thainstone before?
- Regularly — we work around Thainstone Centre (ANM Group), Inverurie Business Park, Keith Anderson Construction. That means we already know the gate, induction and permit routine, so the cohort starts on time.
- Does local site context change how the day runs?
- Garioch market-town hub anchored by Thainstone livestock centre. That shapes the practical: we plan around the traffic, pedestrian flow and access constraints your Inverurie / Thainstone operation deals with, instead of a flat training-ground layout.
- What happens if the weather closes the site?
- We carry on with theory and assessment indoors where possible; if the practical isn't safe we re-plan the practical day — no extra charge.
- How experienced are the instructors?
- Our instructors are operator-trained, audit-experienced and have decades on NE Scotland sites — not classroom-only.
