IPAF – Aerial platform training course (internationally recognised)
- At your work site or in our training centres
- Developed in close collaboration with professionals
- Internationally recognised and accepted
Description and purpose of the training course
Safe aerial work platform usage requires more than instructions for the control panel. In order to safeguard your safety and that of other people in the direct vicinity, proper knowledge of how the machine operates is required. More and more clients will only allow people with completed, recognised training to operate an aerial work platform on their work or construction site. We offer a practical IPAF aerial work platform training course according to internationally recognised standards.
The IPAF education programme has been developed in close collaboration with aerial work platform industry professionals and is the only programme that is certified by the TÜV based on the minimum standard requirements as indicated by ISO standard 18878.
This training also contributes to increasing the efficiency and reducing the number of machine malfunctions, and improves the safety awareness of the participants.

You can receive training for 1 or maximum 2 categories per day. Each training course consists of a theoretical component (general) and a practical component (per category). The participants take an internationally recognised exam for each component.
