FAQs

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.
Do you cover sites near Banchory?
Yes — the same instructors cover the surrounding NE Scotland area weekly from Aboyne, so adjacent-yard cohorts add little to no travel cost.
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.
Will this pass a principal-contractor audit?
The course is built around the evidence auditors actually ask for: operator photo ID, assessment date, regulation mapping and refresher window. We return the pack inside the working week.
