IPAF MEWP Training in Manchester

The card sites ask for

IPAF, the International Powered Access Federation, sets the standard for training people to use mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs). Its PAL Card is the most widely recognised proof that an operator has been trained and tested. As an IPAF accredited centre, we train and assess you to that standard ourselves.

What the course covers

• Pre-use checks and daily inspection
• Safe set-up, controls and driving
• Spotting hazards such as overhead lines, slopes and soft ground
• Emergency lowering and rescue procedures
• A theory test and a practical test on each machine

How it works

1. Step 1

   Enquire

   Tell us which machines you use and how many people need training. We confirm a date and place.

2. Step 2

   Theory

   Learn the rules, the risks and the checks, then sit a short theory test.

3. Step 3

   Practical

   Operate each category under instruction, then show the assessor you can do it safely.

4. Step 4

   PAL Card

   Pass and IPAF issues your PAL Card, valid for five years.
