IPAF Training

IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) training is a globally recognised certification program which helps ensure safe and effective use of Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs) like scissor lifts, boom lifts, and other powered access equipment. It's really important training that can help reduce accidents and improve safety on site.

Anyone operating MEWPs - scissor lifts, cherry pickers, boom lifts or hoists -  should have IPAF certification. Employers might also need training to make sure they're meeting health and safety regulations on worksites.

Yes - delegates successfully completing the course will receive a Digital Powered Access License (ePAL), the cost of which is included in your course fee. This is valid for 5 years and recognised worldwide and it shows you've been trained to a high standard. A paper certificate and physical PAL card is still available for a small additional fee if required.

You can book your IPAF training directly through our website or by contacting our team. We offer flexible training schedules, and our courses can be delivered to both individuals and groups at one of our centres, or on-site at your premises.

Most IPAF courses can be completed within a day, but this depends on the type of equipment being covered and how experienced candidates are. 

PASMA is all about safely using mobile access towers and scaffolds, while IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) covers the safe operation of powered access equipment like scissor lifts and cherry pickers. Both aim to reduce workplace accidents, but they focus on different equipment. Click here to learn more about PASMA training.
