Why teams in Aboyne book this

Most of the distillery training bookings we take from Aboyne land because of one thing: Whisky-tourism foot traffic and seasonal cask movement create pedestrian / FLT conflicts the standard ticket doesn't address. We run the course on your site, against your equipment, and return paperwork inside the working week.

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

FAQs

Can you cohort operators with weaker English?
Yes — we adjust pace and use translated handouts where needed. Assessment is competence-based, not language-based.
Can we use our own equipment?
We strongly recommend it. Training on your machines means the assessment evidences how your operators actually work.
Will this satisfy our insurer?
Yes — the accredited certificate plus evidence pack is the standard underwriters accept for the operator-competence renewal question.
How often is refresher training required?
Refresher every 3 years; pre-mash-season cohorts in late summer., sooner if a near-miss, machine change or audit finding triggers it.
Do you deliver distillery training on-site in Aboyne?
Yes — we travel to your yard or site in Aboyne, around 0 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base. On-site delivery means the assessment is on your kit, not a generic test ground.
