Don’t Miss Out: Get Certified with Versalift UK’s IPAF Training — Limited Spaces for 2025!
Why Choosing Versalift UK’s Training Makes the Difference
At Versalift, we take operator safety seriously. Our IPAF training offering is designed to improve safety, boost productivity, enhance awareness and help you fulfil your legal obligations when using MEWPs (Mobile Elevating Work Platforms).
What you get when you train with us
- A team of qualified instructors who draw on real-world experience and deep product knowledge.
- Training delivered either at our UK HQ (in Burton Latimer, Northants) or on-site at your own premises (subject to classroom & machine-availability requirements).
- Accreditation via the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) training centre, so you’ll earn your PAL card — valid for five years, and recognised across industries.
What courses are available
We cover a full range of training options, including:
- Operator courses (e.g. categories 1b, 3a, 3b, IAD) for static and self-propelled MEWPs.
- Demonstrator training (for those supervising or demonstrating safe MEWP use).
- Specialist and bespoke courses (harness use & inspection, PDI inspections, recovery systems, maintenance/LOLER awareness, custom manufacturer-specific training).
Why You Should Act Now for 2025
Final spaces available
We’re in the final stretch of the year and spaces are limited for 2025 training sessions.
The cost of delay
Waiting too long to book your training could mean:
- Missing the remaining 2025 dates and having to roll over into 2026.
- Delayed certification and hence delayed operations for your teams.
- Potential increased costs or operational risk if staff are working without the appropriate training credentials.
- Compromised compliance with health & safety legislation (remember: operators must be adequately trained).
Tips to guarantee your space
- Book early: pick your preferred date and confirm immediately.
- Confirm delegate list and ensure all attendees meet the prerequisites.
- Consider whether you need refresher training — if delegates haven’t used MEWPs recently or are switching equipment types.
- For on-site delivery: ensure you have a suitably certified MEWP machine for training duration.
- Confirm with your training administrator (Angela at Versalift UK) any arrangements or special requirements — she helps keep the training process seamless.
The Benefits to Your Business
- Safety culture: Operators trained through Versalift adopt best-practice safety behaviours and are better prepared to identify hazards before they become incidents.
- Regulatory compliance: Holding valid PAL cards and proper certification demonstrates due diligence in your health & safety responsibilities.
- Operational efficiency: Well-trained staff operate MEWPs more effectively, reducing unplanned downtime, equipment damage and risk.
- Reputation: Training via a recognised name like Versalift underscores commitment to professionalism and safety in your organisation.
- Flexibility & coverage: With multiple course types and on-site options, you can tailor training to your operational requirements and schedule.
Don’t wait until the last minute. If you’re planning MEWP operations in 2025 (or beyond) and your team still needs IPAF certification (or refresher training), now is the time to act. Spaces for 2025 are extremely limited, and once they’re gone, you’ll likely have to wait until the new year.
Book your place today with Versalift’s IPAF-accredited training centre. Ensure your workforce is confident, competent and certified — and your business remains safe, compliant and efficient.
