Job Description

This IPAF accredited course instructs an operator on how to prepare and safely operate Mobile Vertical lifts [(Scissor Lifts)](https://www.starplatforms.co.uk/hire/scissor-lift-hire) and Mobile Booms [(Cherry Pickers)](https://www.starplatforms.co.uk/hire/cherry-picker-hire). Successful trainees receive a PAL (Powered Access Licence), a safety guide, a logbook and a certificate which is accessible via [IPAF ePAL](https://www.ipaf.org/en-gb/resource-library/ipafs-free-epal-app) (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.

To avoid classroom time and maintain social distancing our course is a mixture of eLearning and theory test in advance (approx.3 hours to complete), followed by a half-day session at our training centre for practical training and assessment.

The eLearning module will be distributed to delegates within 24 hours of booking (during office hours Mon-Fri). Delegates must complete and pass the eLearning theory & test before attending the practical session.

Course Details

  • IPAF eLearning Module: Delegates can complete the eLearning at their own pace and may save and resume at any time. The device used requires a webcam or front-facing camera for the online test. Course material is available in multiple languages.
  • Practical Training & Assessment: Takes place at our training centre on the date/time shown above.
  • Required Safety Equipment: Standard PPE (safety boots, hi-vis vest, hard hat). For category 3b training (boom/cherry picker), a harness with a short adjustable lanyard is also required.
  • Harness Recommendation: IPAF strongly recommends the use of a harness & short adjustable lanyard when operating boom lifts. A 25% discount is offered on IPAF approved full harness & lanyard kits when purchased with any training course booking.
  • Delegate Information: Full Name, Email, and preferred Language are required for eLearning distribution.
