IPAF MEWP
IPAF-accredited MEWP operator training for internationally recognised Mobile Elevating Work Platform certification.
About This Course
The IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) MEWP operator course is the globally recognised standard for Mobile Elevating Work Platform training. On successful completion, participants receive the IPAF PAL (Powered Access Licence) card, which is accepted by contractors and employers worldwide.
Our IPAF-accredited programme is delivered by authorised IPAF instructors and covers the safe operation of the MEWP categories selected. Both the theoretical and practical elements are assessed to IPAF standards.
