IPAF Online Training – Flexible Certification for MEWP Operators

With work schedules tighter than ever, IPAF online training offers a convenient way to complete the theory part of your MEWP course from home or the office. You learn at your own pace and still earn the same internationally recognised certification — only the hands-on practical assessment needs to be done in person at an approved centre.

For operators of scissor lifts (3a), boom lifts (3b) and other Mobile Elevating Work Platforms, the online theory module is the first step toward earning your PAL Card. It’s a practical option for busy sites and for operators who want to prepare before a single, focused day of practical training.

What IPAF online training covers

IPAF’s eLearning is interactive and built around the safety knowledge every operator needs. The module covers:

How the blended process works

The route to certification is simple. First, complete the eLearning theory online. Next, attend an approved centre for hands-on machine training and the practical assessment. On passing, you receive your IPAF PAL Card and digital certificate, both stored in the ePAL app so you can show proof of qualification straight from your phone. The card is valid for five years.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get fully certified online? No — the theory can be done online, but practical training and the assessment must be completed in person. This is an IPAF requirement that keeps the certification credible.

How long does the eLearning take? Most operators complete the online theory in a few hours, at their own pace, before attending for the practical.

Is online training cheaper or faster? It saves classroom time and lets you prepare in advance, which can shorten your time on site for the practical day.
