Distillery training, done on-site

We've delivered distillery training across North-East Scotland for refresher every 3 years; pre-mash-season cohorts in late summer.. The pattern is consistent: Whisky-tourism foot traffic and seasonal cask movement create pedestrian / FLT conflicts the standard ticket doesn't address. On-site delivery on your equipment, with refresher cycles planned into your operation, is the cure.

Distilleries context: Speyside distilleries mix cask-yard FLT/telehandler work with confined-space stills, vapour zones and tight visitor flow.

FAQs

Is distillery training accredited?
Yes — accredited certificates aligned with PUWER 1998, GMP, COSHH, DSEAR 2002 (alcohol vapour) are issued to successful candidates.
Is this course right for site teams?
It's built for that buyer profile. The paperwork and cohorting are tuned to what site teams are usually measured on.
How much does distillery training cost for a team in North-East Scotland?
Day rates for distillery training 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 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.
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.
