FAQs
- 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.
- How much does MEWP cost for a team in North-East Scotland?
- Day rates for MEWP typically fall inside the band the course brief lists. Cohort size, novice/refresher split and travel are the main drivers — we send a fixed price, not a day rate × headcount.
- Is this course right for training coordinators?
- It's built for that buyer profile. The paperwork and cohorting are tuned to what training coordinators are usually measured on.
- Is MEWP accredited?
- Yes — accredited certificates aligned with Work at Height Regulations 2005 and LOLER 1998 are issued to successful candidates.
- Can you cover night or weekend shifts?
- Yes — we routinely cohort sessions around shift handovers and weekend possessions, with no shift premium.
Why teams in North-East Scotland book this
