Why choose IPAF-certified training at Workplatform Ltd?

The majority of accidents involving working at height can be avoided with safety training. As an IPAF-approved training centre, our IPAF courses teach operators practical techniques and in-depth knowledge, ensuring users can operate MEWPs adhering to strict safety standards.

IPAF operator training provides techniques and product knowledge enabling operators to get the most out of the equipment, maximising the capabilities of the machines. Being professionally trained is also an important aspect of health and safety when working at height.

Workplatform is an approved IPAF operator-training provider and can offer training at our dedicated training facility in Castle Donington near Derby. Training is also available at your premises (please check the suitability of the location with us before booking).

All training is carried out by IPAF-certified, experienced trainers – excellent pass rates achieved.

Training is a mixture of theory and practice, with a written and a practical test. Course material is available in many languages, and our training centre receives regular updates & audits. Class sizes are always kept small to enable maximum support by the trainer and hands-on time with the Genie products.

By taking part in an IPAF-registered course, your operators will be certified to use powered access equipment in the following categories: vertical personnel lifts, trailer-mounted booms, scissor lifts, and self-propelled booms.
