Crane Driver Training delivered where you work in North-East Scotland
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited crane driver training on-site across North-East Scotland (North-East Scotland). We work with energy, construction, marine, agricultural and distribution operators operating around sites across Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray — including teams at North-East energy supply chain, Speyside distillers, Moray Firth ports, and shape each crane driver course around your equipment, shift patterns and risk profile.
The course covers practical crane driver operation and the regulations that apply on your site — including LOLER 1998, BS 7121 and PUWER 1998. North-East operators routinely move plant between three council areas — we plan cohorts and refreshers so certification windows line up across the whole operation. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited crane driver / operator certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across North-East Scotland.
Prerequisites: Aged 18+, medical, prior plant experience strongly preferred.
Pricing guide: Course typically £1,200–£3,500 per candidate depending on category.

From North-East Scotland sites we've trained on, these are the crane driver findings that come up repeatedly in HSE inspections and principal-contractor audits.
- Driver and AP roles blurred; BS 7121 expects them separate
- Daily / weekly inspection book backfilled at the end of the week
- Mat / spreader sizing eyeballed instead of calculated from ground bearing
