IPAF Training Nottingham

If you're seeking IPAF training in Nottingham, you’re in the right place. IPAF courses provide the most effective path to certification, equipping you with the essential skills and knowledge for the safe and efficient operation of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) on-site. Upon completing IPAF courses in Nottingham, you'll receive an IPAF PAL card, which is recognised by top contracting companies and fulfils the requirements of the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment) 1998.

This certification is valid for five years before needing renewal, and many employers require both IPAF training and a valid PAL card as part of their hiring criteria.

How long will it take me to become qualified in my chosen IPAF course?

IPAF courses vary in duration based on the specific course. Most courses can be completed within one day. For our most popular IPAF training in Nottingham course, IPAF Operator, the course is one day in duration including theory and practical elements. The theory would be carried out in the morning, and then in the afternoon the category specific practical would be carried out, either cherry picker training or scissor lift training. An eLearning hybrid option is available, where theory is done online, and then you only come to our training venue for the practical training.

Do IPAF courses involve more theory or practical based training?

Our IPAF courses include a combination of both theory and practical training. Theory components include essential safety guidelines, regulations and operational principles. The practical training, both cherry picker training and scissor lift training focuses on hands-on use of the machine. This combination ensures that you leave your IPAF training in Nottingham feeling well-prepared for safe and efficient operation of MEWPs.
