IPAF Training Centres

Finding the right IPAF training centres is essential when you need certified instruction on Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs). Whether you're a construction professional or a facility maintenance worker, training at an accredited centre ensures you meet safety standards and legal requirements.

📍 What Are IPAF Training Centres?

IPAF-approved centres are officially authorised to deliver operator training across MEWP categories:

  • 1B: Static boom
  • 3A: Mobile vertical (e.g., scissor lifts)
  • 3B: Mobile boom (e.g., cherry pickers)

These centres follow strict IPAF guidelines and provide both classroom and practical modules. After completing your training, you receive a Powered Access Licence (PAL Card), now delivered through the digital ePAL app.

🧑‍🏫 What to Expect

At most IPAF training centres, you’ll experience:

  • Expert instruction from certified trainers
  • Modern MEWP equipment for hands-on learning
  • Flexible scheduling, including weekends
  • eLearning options, where available, to start training from home

After passing the theory and practical assessments, your certification is valid for five years and accepted across the UK and internationally.

🌍 Nationwide Locations

Whether you're based in Liverpool, London, Birmingham, or rural parts of the UK, accredited training centres are widely available. Many also offer on-site group training if your company needs several operators certified simultaneously.

💷 Course Costs and Booking

Course prices vary depending on the provider and format. A typical 3A and 3B combined course costs around £200–£260 + VAT. Some centres also offer standalone or refresher courses for previously certified operators.

You can find a trusted provider and book your training through the Siri Training Portal, which connects you with verified IPAF centres across the country.
