Allowing candidates to gain the highest standard of knowledge whilst operating powered access equipment.  IPAF has played a key role in promoting many of the design, safety and testing procedures that are now established in the powered access industry.

More than 80,000 operators are trained each year through a worldwide network of over 400 training centres. Training in the US is managed by IPAF’s North American subsidiary, AWPT Inc. Training generally lasts one to two days and is a mixture of theory and practice.
