What is IPAF Card and Why It Matters

An IPAF card, also known as a PAL (Powered Access Licence) card, is an official certificate from the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF). It proves that the holder has completed training to operate Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs), such as boom lifts, scissor lifts, and cherry pickers.

This card is widely accepted in construction, maintenance, and other industrial sectors. It confirms the operator’s ability to use MEWPs safely and follow regulations. Employers often ask for a valid IPAF card before allowing workers to handle powered access machines.

There are different types of IPAF cards. The most common is the Operator card, but IPAF also offers cards for Demonstrators, Instructors, and Supervisors. Each card shows the specific machine categories the person is qualified to operate. The card is typically valid for five years.

At Siritech Training, we provide IPAF-approved training that includes theory and hands-on practice. After passing the course, you receive your IPAF and a digital license through the ePAL app.

Holding a card improves your job opportunities. More importantly, it ensures that you understand safety procedures like risk checks and emergency operations. It shows that you are a competent and responsible operator.

To sum up, an IPAF is more than a license—it’s proof of safety and professionalism. If you want to build your skills and meet industry standards, join Siritech Training and earn your IPAF certification today.
