FAQs

How experienced are the instructors?
Our instructors are operator-trained, audit-experienced and have decades on NE Scotland sites — not classroom-only.
Have you worked with sites near Ellon before?
Regularly — we work around BrewDog (Ellon HQ & DogHouse), Ellon Industrial Estate tenants, Buchan-corridor farms. That means we already know the gate, induction and permit routine, so the cohort starts on time.
What usually goes wrong with fish-processing training on fish-processing sites?
Wet floors + cold-store FLT + pedestrians is the recurring HSE finding in NE seafood plants. We build the assessment day around that failure mode rather than a generic syllabus, so the evidence you get back answers the question your auditor actually asks.
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.
Do you cover sites near Ellon?
Yes — the same instructors cover the surrounding NE Scotland area weekly from Aboyne, so adjacent-yard cohorts add little to no travel cost.
