Talk with our training department
An IPAF training course is a course that is recognised globally, developed by the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) to teach safe operation of powered access equipment.
IPAF training courses can be completed in one day, depending on the category. The exact duration varies based on the type of course.
Any person who is required to operate powered access equipment requires adequate training to comply with workplace safety regulations. IPAF is the most recognised and respected training available in our field and has courses available for all machine categories.
Once you have completed an IPAF training course, you will receive a Powered Access License (PAL) card, which is valid for 5 years. This certificate is recognised worldwide. After 5 years, you will need a refresher course to renew your certification.
