Will a principal accept this for a highways civils site?

Yes — the certificate maps to the regs the principal's auditor cites, and we'll talk to the principal's HSE team directly if useful.

Do you deliver manual handling 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.

What's the lead time?

Most North-East Scotland bookings go in within 5–10 working days. Audit-deadline cover regularly lands inside a week.

Do you train outdoors year-round in North-East Scotland?

Yes — we plan the day around weather windows. NE Scotland conditions are exactly what your operators face anyway.

Can we use our own equipment?

We strongly recommend it. Training on your machines means the assessment evidences how your operators actually work.
