Why teams in North-East Scotland book this
Most of the MEWP Training bookings we take from North-East Scotland land because of one thing: principal-contractor audit landing in 14 days with two operators out of ticket We run the course on your site, against your equipment, and return paperwork inside the working week.
What site managers get from this: evidenced competence pack covering operators, refresher dates and equipment. Measured against audit non-conformances closed before handover.

FAQs
- How long does MEWP take?
- For refresher cohorts most operators clear inside a day; novice candidates need longer. We plan duration around your team's prior experience, not a default course length.
- What happens if an operator fails?
- We re-coach on the spot where possible and re-assess; if the gap is bigger we plan a short repeat block rather than a full re-run.
- 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.
- Can you build a fleet schedule across multiple yards?
- Yes. We cohort across yards in the same week so the same standard is evidenced fleet-wide and refresher windows line up.
- 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.
