IPAF\u00a0training program<\/a> is developed by professionals in the lift industry. Conducting the IPAF training is a reliable way to achieve the knowledge and understanding needed to work safely and efficiently, and to prepare for work with a personal lift.<\/p>\n

The card is valid for 5 years. The card can be renewed by compliting the exams again if you have used the lift regularly and have recorded it in your logbook. Otherwise, the card will need to be renewed by conducting the whole IPAF training.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Content of training<\/h3>\n

The training includes both theory and practice and the size of the group is kept small so that we can ensure that each participant receives all the knowledge they need.<\/p>\n

We conduct trainings in Finnish, Estonian, Russian and English. There are more than 20 language options for the written exam, including: Finnish, English, Russian, Swedish, French, German and Polish.<\/p>\n

After you pass the course, you:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Control the essential health and safety legislation relating to the use of the lift
\n\u2022 Are aware of how to prevent and manage accidents
\n\u2022 Know when and what kind of personal protective equipment you need
\n\u2022 Understand the importance of the lift operator’s manual
\n\u2022 Are able to drive and operate the lift securely<\/p>\n

Your knowledge will be tested by a written test and a driving test. Approved performance will give you the qualifications for the chosen category. <\/p>\n

Upon completion of the training, you will receive an International PAL Card (Powered Access License), Security Guide, Logbook and Certificate.<\/p>\n
