FAQs — on-site in Aberdeen
- Is there a travel charge to Aberdeen?
- No — at 30 miles from Aboyne, Aberdeen (AB10–AB25) sits inside our no-travel zone.
- What do we need on-site?
- The machine, a clear practical area, and somewhere indoors for the theory and assessment.
- Can you handle live-site delivery?
- Yes — most of our Aberdeen jobs run alongside live operations with a brief PTW.
- Do we need specific insurance?
- Standard contractor PL is fine; we carry our own PI/PL.
Training that happens off your site costs you twice — once in the course fee and again in travel time. On-site removes the second cost entirely.
