Become an IPAF Demonstrator
Step up from operator to expert. The IPAF Demonstrator course qualifies you to familiarise other operators with MEWPs and conduct handover procedures.
- Teach Others
- Safety Lead
- 1 Day Course
Course Curriculum
Learn the skills required to safely handover machines and demonstrate their use to operators.
Role of a Demonstrator
Understand your responsibilities under PUWER. You are not training operators from scratch (that’s an Instructor’s job), but ensuring they know the specific controls of a machine.
Handover & Familiarisation
Learn the correct procedure for handing over a MEWP to a client or operator, including visual checks, documentation, and demonstrating emergency lowering.
Prerequisites
You MUST already hold a valid IPAF Operator PAL Card for the categories you wish to demonstrate (e.g., 3a, 3b). This is a top-up qualification.
Assessment
Includes a theory test on legislation and machine types, followed by a practical assessment where you must deliver a familiarisation session to the instructor.

Demonstrator vs Instructor
Understanding the limits of your qualification.
Familiarisation
A Demonstrator shows an *already trained* operator the specific controls of a new machine model. This is ‘familiarisation’.
Training
An Instructor teaches a novice how to operate a MEWP from scratch. A Demonstrator cannot conduct full operator training or issue PAL cards.
Handover
Demonstrators are key for hire companies, ensuring clients know how to use the specific equipment delivered to site safely.
Student Feedback
