This IPAF Single Mobile Boom (3b) operator course instructs a delegate to prepare and safely operate self-propelled (mobile) articulated boom lifts, often referred to as cherry pickers.

IPAF’s MEWP Operator Training is certified by TÜV as conforming to the international standard ISO 18878 Mobile elevating work platforms – Operator (driver) training. The course will consist of classroom-based tutorials, demonstrations and practical and written tests.

The course is delivered through a combination of classroom-based tutorials and practical assignments. Delegates will be assessed through a mixture of theory and practical tests.

Agenda:

Introduction and pre-course theory test
MEWP regulations and guidance
Machine types and use
Structural parts
Familiarisation and pre-use inspection
Safe operating methods and hazards
Written theory test

Delegates who successfully pass the written theory test will go on to undertake:

Practical training
Practical assessment

This course is suitable for delegates who use self-propelled (mobile) articulated boom lifts or cherry pickers.

Since the inspection, operation and use of MEWP's can be physically demanding, users should be physically fit and in good health and should, generally, not have problems with eyesight or hearing, heart disease, high blood pressure, epilepsy, fear of heights, vertigo, giddiness, difficulty with balance, impaired limb function, alcohol or drug dependence or psychiatric illness.

If you have any problems with literacy or language comprehension or have any doubts about your fitness to use an MEWP, you must bring them to the attention of your employer. This need not preclude you from using MEWPs, provided your employer conducts an assessment and is able to put into place adequate measures to take account of any difficulties you may have.

Upon successful completion of the course, delegates will receive a digital IPAF Powered Access Licence (PAL Card) accessible via the IPAF ePAL app for an IPAF 3b qualification valid for 5 years.

The IPAF ePAL app is free to download on Apple iOS and Android devices. The app can be used to view and access an operator’s digital PAL card, logbook and IPAF safety guides. Our Trainers will talk you through this process at the start of your IPAF course.

If a physical PAL card and certificate are required, these must be arranged with the training department before the course start date. An additional charge applies.
