Can you cover night or weekend shifts?

Yes — we routinely cohort sessions around shift handovers and weekend possessions, with no shift premium.

What if we need to rebook?

We hold dates flexibly. If site conditions change, we move the cohort — there's no rebooking fee for genuine site reasons.

What evidence do you return?

Photo-ID certificate, assessment record, regulation mapping and refresher-due date. Sent to whichever HR / training system you use.

Do you do follow-up observation visits?

Yes — short post-course observation visits are a cheap way to lock in the behaviour change auditors actually want to see.

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.

Why teams in North-East Scotland book this

Plant operator competence in North-East Scotland is mostly about evidence. Forklift Training closes the gap between your operators' real-world ability and the certificate the auditor wants to see — without losing the operators for a week off-site.

What project managers get from this: mobilisation cohort delivered to the project start date. Measured against mobilisation milestone hit on plan.

Audit findings this prevents

Travelling with the forks raised — the most common HSE-citable defect on FLT audits
Pre-use checks signed off without actually walking the truck
Pedestrians cutting through reversing zones because segregation was painted but not enforced

Why this matters

people seriously injured each year by forklifts in the UK.
