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 maintenance on machines. Delegates will be taught not only the safe operation of machines but also selecting the right machine for the job, how to 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

Requirements

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.

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.
