FAQs
- How far do you travel to North-East Scotland?
- 29 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base, ~45 mins via A944/AWPR. Short travel is why single-operator cohorts in North-East Scotland are still economic for us to run.
- 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.
- Is this course right for fleet managers?
- It's built for that buyer profile. The paperwork and cohorting are tuned to what fleet managers 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 North-East Scotland because travel from Aboyne is short. We don't charge a minimum-headcount premium.
