This course provides recertification training for experienced IPAF MEWP Operators through the use of E-Learning modules to refresh their knowledge in a range of situations and environments.
IPAF's enhanced e-learning module is part of its full training programme for mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs). The training has been created to allow delegates to gain and develop the required knowledge outside of the classroom.
Please view the who should attend tab to ensure you meet the qualification/experience requirements prior to attendance on this course.
Completing the e-learning alone does not qualify you as an operator; industry standards require both the knowledge gained in the e-learning theory session and assessed operation of the equipment to demonstrate proficiency. Once you have completed the e-learning, you must also complete the practical assessment and testing at one of our HSS Training IPAF-Approved centres to obtain a PAL Card (Powered Access Licensed-Registration). The practical assessment can be completed either on live equipment or via virtual reality.
