Please have a look at the attached items and if using a MEWP always wear a harness

Jv i am thinking of going for my IPAF and contacted a few IPAF training sites by email, but no reply back
I was wondering from their list of courses, could you advice which courses i would need to carry out to offer this service in window cleaning and related services like cladding cleaning
any advice appreciated thanks

with all types of MEWPS you will need to have done a IPAF harness awareness course and then depending on the type of MEWP your going to use will depend on the coures to take as they are all different.
The basics start with SL (sizzor lift) & SPB (self propelled boom)
After this you get into VMP (vehicle mounted platform) 26m & 100m
If you call one of the training centres they will steer you in the right direction or when it comes to needing the equipment for a job and a higher firm come out to do a survey get them to arrange the course that will cover the machine you will need, good way of making the jobs pay for the training as they all want you to have it but don't like to pay for it.
Hope this help we will be setting up a training centre but not till the end of the year.

I did a search on the IPAF web site and found a company near to me that did a course . I booked to go on it , and found out that it was run by Nationwide . All the people on the course had not booked direct with Nationwide but had ended up on there course.
I use these
