IPAF Courses

Our International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) courses provide internationally recognised training for operating Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs), including mobile and static booms (cherry pickers) and mobile and static vertical lifts (scissor lifts). IPAF training helps individuals develop the practical skills and safety awareness needed to operate MEWPs confidently and correctly.

Delivered to ISO 18878:2025 standards, IPAF qualifications are widely required across construction, warehousing, facilities management and maintenance sectors. Successful delegates receive an ePAL Powered Access Licence (PAL card), providing recognised proof of competence when working at height with powered access equipment.
