Pricing guide
Course typically £1,200–£3,500 per candidate depending on category
Typical mobile crane scenarios on North-East Scotland sites
- Scenario 1
Tandem lift planning with two cranes and a single AP
- Scenario 2
Ground bearing pressure check on a yard with unknown made-up fill
- Scenario 3
Lifting over a live road or rail — exclusion zone, banksman positioning
Audit findings this prevents
- No written lift plan for a 'routine' lift — fails almost every BS 7121 audit
- Outriggers not fully extended because of yard width — capacity halved silently
- AP and supervisor roles combined in one person, which BS 7121 prohibits
Why this matters
£20m+
single-incident insurance exposure recorded on UK mobile-crane overturns.

FAQs
- 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.
- Do you cover sites near North-East Scotland?
- Yes — the same instructors cover the surrounding NE Scotland area weekly from Aboyne, so adjacent-yard cohorts add little to no travel cost.
- Can novice and refresher run in the same cohort?
- Yes. We run mixed cohorts routinely — the instructor splits the day so novice candidates aren't slowed by refresher assessment.
- How experienced are the instructors?
- Our instructors are operator-trained, audit-experienced and have decades on NE Scotland sites — not classroom-only.
- Will this pass a principal-contractor audit?
- The course is built around the evidence auditors actually ask for: operator photo ID, assessment date, regulation mapping and refresher window. We return the pack inside the working week.
