FAQs
- Have you worked with sites near North-East Scotland before?
- Regularly — we work around Badentoy Industrial Estate, Halliburton Portlethen, Schlumberger / SLB. That means we already know the gate, induction and permit routine, so the cohort starts on time.
- Will our North-East Scotland site suit on-site delivery?
- North-East Scotland sites are mostly service-company workshops, tool yards, casing pipe stores, which suits on-site delivery well — we need a safe practical area, a room or cabin for theory, and access for our vehicle off the A90.
- 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.
