IPAF & PASMA Combined 1-Day Course

For both IPAF training and PASMA qualifications, we offer single-day courses. The IPAF training covers the 3a & 3b categories, and PASMA, Towers for Users. 

The training for both courses includes an online theory test which will take four hours for each qualification and a practical test at our depot.

What Does the IPAF & PASMA Combined Course Cover?

This combined course will cover aspects of both IPAF and PASMA training in a single day, with the modules for each being split into theory and practical segments. 

Whilst there are many different IPAF and PASMA courses available, this combined course focuses on the following: 

IPAF 3a & 3b

The IPAF 3a training course is focused on teaching the candidate how to operate powered vertical lifting platforms such as scissor lifts. The IPAF 3b course, however, covers the use of telescopic or articulated MEWPs. This means that by learning both modules, you’re able to gain a broad understanding of what’s required to operate different types of access platforms.

Training spans legislation, regulations, standards, and best practice. Candidates then study MEWP categories and structures, pre-use requirements, safe operating methods, hazard observation, and practical training.

PASMA Towers

The PASMA Towers training course will teach operators how to safely operate mobile access towers and adhere to the necessary safety regulations. Specifics of the course include how to safely assemble, dismantle, adjust and manoeuvre mobile access towers; their safe use; inspection; hazard identification; and relevant legislation, regulations and best practice.

Upon completion of this module of the course, you’ll receive a PASMA card and certificate.
