FAQs

Have you worked with sites near Peterhead before?
Regularly — we work around Peterhead Port Authority, SSE Peterhead Power Station, Lunar Fishing / processors. That means we already know the gate, induction and permit routine, so the cohort starts on time.
Which regulations does distillery training map to here?
PUWER 1998, GMP, COSHH, DSEAR 2002 (alcohol vapour). We print the mapping on the evidence pack so the distillery client or principal contractor can tie the certificate to the reg they cited.
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.
How experienced are the instructors?
Our instructors are operator-trained, audit-experienced and have decades on NE Scotland sites — not classroom-only.
What happens if the weather closes the site?
We carry on with theory and assessment indoors where possible; if the practical isn't safe we re-plan the practical day — no extra charge.
