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; project-mobilisation cohorts on 2-week notice., sooner if a near-miss, machine change or audit finding triggers it.

Do you deliver managing mobile plant on-site in North-East Scotland?

Yes — we travel to your yard or site in North-East Scotland. On-site delivery means the assessment is on your kit, not a generic test ground.
