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 covering industry best practices, health and safety regulations, working at heights, accident control, and PPE.
  • Theory assessment paper.
  • Practical training on safe operation and daily maintenance of machines, including machine selection and inspection.
  • Practical assessment on machine inspection, manoeuvres, and hazard identification.

Required 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. Delegates must show a 12-month inspection certificate for their own harness/lanyard, otherwise, it cannot be used.

Our all-inclusive price includes registration with IPAF, your PAL Card and IPAF Certificate via IPAF ePAL. To secure your place(s) on this course book online now or speak to a member of our team on 0808 109 3681.
