IPAF Training Static Boom Category 1a

IPAF 1b Static Boom Course Description

This course instructs an operator to prepare and safely operate powered static booms which include Spider booms on tracks or wheels, Van-mounted booms, Truck-mounted booms or Trailer-mounted booms.

As this type of equipment can be very complex we often recommend a course longer than 1 day.  This is dependant on the model of equipment and the experience of the delegates. Please ask for further details

A mix of theory and practical training, this course is designed to enable operators to manoeuvre, drive and position the MEWPs safely and proficiently. Courses can be undertaken boom lifts, trailer mounted or truck mounted platforms. 

This course is Instructor-led practical training with both a written and practical assessment.

Delegates successfully completing the course will receive an IPAF Certificate and Powered Access Licence (PAL) Card valid for 5 years.

On-site training

Our on-site training is available anywhere in the UK and Ireland subject to minimum numbers. A suitable room would be required for on-site training for the theory section of the course, and a Mobile Boom is needed for the practical.
