This IPAF accredited course is designed for operators of powered access equipment and instructs how to prepare and safely operate Mobile Vertical lifts (Scissor Lifts) and Mobile Booms (Cherry Pickers). Successful delegates receive a PAL (Powered Access Licence), a safety guide, a logbook and a certificate which is accessible via IPAF ePAL (a digital app that stores and shares your IPAF powered access licences and qualifications). The ePAL Card is issued by IPAF (the International Powered Access Federation) and is valid for 5 years.
There are four components to the IPAF Operator Training Course, which include: classroom tutorials, theory assessment, practical training, and practical assessment.
Classroom tutorials
During the classroom tutorials, you will learn about the industry’s best practices and guidelines on various topics, such as health and safety regulations and legislation, working at heights regulations, accident control and prevention, as well as personal protective equipment (PPE).
Theory assessment
Delegates will be asked to complete a paper theory assessment prior to the practical assessment
Practical training
The practical training will give delegates the knowledge and hands-on experience of operating and doing daily machine maintenance. Delegates will be taught not only the safe operation of machines but also how to select the right machine for the job, inspect MEWPs for use on-site, and PPE best practices.
Practical Assessment
Delegates will be assessed on their ability to inspect the machine, perform manoeuvres, and identify potential hazards. The classroom tutorial, theory test, practical training and practice & assessment will take place at our training centre on the date/time shown above.
