Qualification

When you complete your IPAF training course with Charles Wilson, you will receive a PAL (Powered Access Licence) card that is valid for 5 years. You will also receive a safety guide, log book (on completion of an Operators course), and a certificate.

Log your experience with the IPAF ePAL app

All successful trainees should keep an up-to-date record of their IPAF licences and operating experience using the free IPAF ePAL app. ePAL replaces the old paper log book, making it easy to log machine use, store digital PAL Cards and certificates, and access safety information from your phone. For renewal courses, candidates must present a valid IPAF licence and have at least 60 logged entries, including 10 from the past 12 months.

Keep Training Up to Date

The IPAF Operator and Demonstrator cards are valid for 5 years, after which all cardholders will need to attend a course. All MEWP users should keep up to date with current legislation and equipment changes.
