Course Aims

At the end of the course the operator will:

• Be aware of the relevant health and safety regulations
• Be aware of the needs regarding personal protection
• Be aware of the need to refer to the machine operating manual

IPAF Certification
Important - please note: IPAF have announced that from 13th April 2021, all candidates who undertake IPAF training and pass will get their license and/or certification digitally through IPAF's new app, ePAL. In addition, the Co-ordinator of the booking will receive a digital copy.
The app is launching in April 2021 and will be available on Apple iOS and Android apps (search ePAL).
We request that delegates download this app to their smart phone ahead of the course - for courses on and from the 13th April 2021 onwards.

Course Entry Requirements

The renewal course must be taken before the original training expires. Candidates must also be able to provide for inspection, their log book with a minimum of 60 entries (10 of which must be in the final year prior to expiry) as proof of their continued machine use. If the operator licence has expired, the operator will have to attend the full 1 day operator course again (see IPAF Operator Training course description for further details).

In order to upgrade/renew a licence an operator must successfully complete the IPAF theory test. In addition to this an operator must achieve the required standard when operating each of the machine categories for which licence renewal/upgrade is required.

For the licence upgrade course, candidates must produce their current (and still in date) IPAF PAL card for inspection by our training instructor prior to course commencement.

Literacy and language comprehension are important requirements on all courses. Any physical impairment or literacy issues should be discussed with LTC Training Services prior to making a booking so we can best accommodate your needs.
