Between 200 & 230.

Did mine with AFI Uplift - one day course.

I would say that getting a PAL IPAF ticket was a pivotal moment in my business development.

Go for it!!

When i did mine, it didnt matter if there was 1 or 10 of you doing the course, it was still like £200 i think. So get someone else to do it with you if they want it, and split cost.

Hi Rob,
           I am thinking about an IPAF ticket as I have a large commercial gutter clearance which is right on the limit of my guttervac and I'm thinking that a cherry picker would be the next best cost effective way to clean them. When you say it was a pivotal moment in your business development what do you mean exactly? did you get a lot more commercial work from it window/gutter clearing? Is there a big demand for jobs where you require a cherry picker?   :)
Thanks

Two of us recently did IPAF - 3 categories in the day.
We phoned Smart Access and they got us in 2 days later.
There were only two of us and one instructor, 2 of the machines were brand new and only used for training purposes.
300 pound apiece - well worth it.

My business started eleven years ago with traditional window cleaning. The first pivotal point was going WFP.

The second pivotal point was getting rid of my window cleaning business and starting works on the Sainsbury's refurbishment programme.

Getting my CSCS card and IPAF license was the third and I only really clean supermarkets now and a large part of that is by using access equipment.
