One course. Every Edinburgh workshop.
Edinburgh is Scotland's capital and one of the UK's most dynamic employment centres. Across the city's construction sites, engineering and fabrication workshops, maintenance teams and vehicle repair garages, angle grinders, bench grinders and cut-off saws are part of daily work. Our Abrasive Wheels Course is designed for that reality - concise video lessons, real workshop examples and a short final assessment.
Whether you work on a city centre construction site, in a fabrication shop in Leith, a maintenance team across the Lothians, or a vehicle repair garage in Musselburgh - the course covers exactly what you need to understand the hazards and support compliance with UK law.
Train 24/7 from home in New Town, Old Town, Portobello or anywhere in the Lothians. Your Abrasive Wheels Certificate is ready the moment you pass.

The risk assessment every Edinburgh employer uses.
Before any grinding or cutting begins, a risk assessment under PUWER 1998 should cover the machine, the wheel, the operator and the environment - the cornerstone of safe abrasive wheel use in UK workplaces.
- Machine - guard, flanges, spindle speed, 3mm rest gap
- Wheel - BS EN 12413 marking, inspection, ring test
- Operator - trained, aware, competent for the task
- Environment - dust, sparks, extraction, people nearby
Abrasive Wheels requirements in Edinburgh
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) require all UK employers - including those in Edinburgh and the Lothians - to ensure that anyone who mounts, dresses or uses abrasive wheels has received appropriate Abrasive Wheels Training. This legal requirement applies to businesses of all sizes, from independent garages to major construction contractors, engineering firms across the city, and maintenance teams throughout the region.
Construction, engineering and fabrication
Edinburgh's mix of heritage refurbishment and new development keeps construction and fabrication teams busy, cutting and dressing steel, stone, paving and masonry. The city's engineering and fabrication workshops, many around Leith and the wider Lothians, rely on bench grinders, angle grinders and cut-off saws every day. From wheel-burst risk to dust and vibration, our course covers the hazards these tasks present.
Our Abrasive Wheels Training is ideally suited to workers in every Edinburgh trade, covering correct wheel selection, mounting, guarding and the PPE needed for common grinding and cutting tasks.
Maintenance and facilities in Edinburgh
Edinburgh's hospitals, universities and large estates employ maintenance and facilities staff who carry out grinding and cutting as part of routine work. Our comprehensive course covers both the underpinning theory and the practical awareness relevant to these settings, supporting the hands-on sign-off a competent person provides.
Our online course brings HSE compliant Abrasive Wheels Training directly to Edinburgh and Lothian workers - easier than ever to get certified without disrupting your working day.
