Our dedicated training team can offer IPAF training courses 5 days a week. Our main training centre is located in Hayes, Middlesex. We can conduct on-site training, if required (subject to the appropriate facilities and equipment being available).

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.

Your Log Book

All successful trainees receive an IPAF log book on completion of an Operators course, which will enable them to record their relevant experience. This could shorten the renewal process for experienced personnel; for a renewal course, candidates will need to have a current IPAF card and a log book with 60 entries (10 entries 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.
