IPAF Course Content
Our IPAF training courses are always split over the morning and the afternoon of a single day. You can find a brief schedule of what you will be doing on your training course below.
Morning Session: Rules and Regulations
The morning session focuses on theory and knowledge, covering the capabilities of work platforms, emergency procedures, potential hazards and the responsibilities of the operator. After the morning session has been concluded, we organise a short questionnaire to solidify and test the knowledge of the participants.
Afternoon Session: Practical Focuses
The afternoon session is focused on more in situ skills. Starting with a pre-use inspection, we move onto safety checks, operator practice and verbal questioning followed by an assessment covering each category we have looked at over the day. We conclude with a short talk on log book completion and then we summarise the course’s content before taking candidate photographs for their PAL card.
Successful candidates will have their photo taken so that they can be issued with a PAL (IPAF) card. This card will take approximately five days to be produced and despatched.
