Course Details

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.

Covid-secure course: 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 practical assessment at our training centre.

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 online testing. Course material is available in multiple languages.

Practical Training & Assessment: Practical training, practice and assessment will take 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 short adjustable lanyard is also required. IPAF strongly recommends the use of a harness & short adjustable lanyard when operating boom lifts.

We offer a 25% discount on our [IPAF approved full harness & lanyard kit](https://www.starplatforms.co.uk/training-extras/ipaf-approved-safety-harness-kit) when purchased with any training course booking.

Note: Delegates bringing their own harness/lanyard must show a 12-month inspection certificate on the day of training.
