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.

Course Components

  • Theory assessment paper.
  • Practical training providing hands-on experience in operating and daily maintenance of machines, including safe operation, machine selection, MEWP inspection, and PPE best practices.
  • Practical assessment on machine inspection, manoeuvres, and hazard identification.

Requirements

Delegates should bring 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. IPAF strongly recommends the use of a harness & short adjustable lanyard when operating boom lifts.
