IPAF Operator: 3a (Scissor) & 3b (Boom) Full day course with classroom theory

Course Description

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.

Course Components

• Classroom tutorials: Learn about industry best practices, health and safety regulations, working at heights regulations, accident control and prevention, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Theory assessment: Complete a paper theory assessment prior to the practical assessment.
• Practical training: Gain hands-on experience operating and performing daily maintenance on machines. Learn safe operation, selecting the right machine, inspecting MEWPs, and PPE best practices.
• Practical Assessment: Assessed on machine inspection, performing manoeuvres, and identifying 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.

What to Bring

Delegates should bring the following safety equipment on the day of the practical training:

• Standard PPE (safety boots, hi-vis vest, hard hat).
• HARNESSES: For category 3b training (boom/cherry picker) a harness with short adjustable lanyard is also required. For operator safety, IPAF strongly recommends the use of a harness & short adjustable lanyard when operating boom lifts, and most sites will insist on it.

We offer a 25% discount on our IPAF approved full harness & lanyard kit when purchased with any training course booking.

NOTE: Delegates bringing their own harness/lanyard must show a 12 month inspection certificate for this on the day of training, otherwise we cannot allow the use of it during the course.
