Can anyone suggest a training provider for IPAF at an affordable cost for a group of up to 5 members of staff in the Yorkshire region please?

Cheers Trev I have googled myself but I was also looking for a personal recommendation............although I did not make that clear in my question DOH

Maybe Glenn, Paul M or someone else down your neck of the woods would be better able to help you mate

Generally speaking, IPAF is around the £175 kind of area for a day at a centre, but ring around. Most of the rental companies also do/will know about training.

 

[Guest55]

price depends on the number / type of equipment catagories you want training in.

the full monty package of static boom , mobile boom & scissor lift will probably cost at least £250 before group discounts.

My previous company used peter hirds in Hull to train us up. Good centre with good instruction but I have no idea of the cost as I was an employee at that time. Also maybe a bit out of the way, Hull being the arse end of Yorkshire and all.

EDIT: Seems they have other training centres too if you wanted to give them a call.

I'd did my pasma with hss, well worth the money

 

[Farmelectrics]

There's a company called face lift google them sure they have a yard your way

 

[Robotstar5]

I did mine through the local HSS hire, find out if your local government has any training funding available, the company I worked for got money from a fund.

I did mine at highland in Trafford park. Well worth a look at! And won't be to far from Yorkshire.

I had some guy with long gray hair, annoying fella, didn't find it in the slightest bit amusing when I flattened a cone with the scissor lift!

Was everybody else given a book which you have to fill in each time you use related access equipment?

If you dont fill the book up you have to do the full day again after the 5 years?


Is that the norm or what?. I thought that idea was a load of poop.

 

[Guest55]

dont bother with the log book ,
even if you fill it in every week you still have to do at least half day retraining at the end of the 5 years.

I booked mine thru' blade access in bradford, but I had to travel to ossett for the training. can't remember the cost exactly - might have been about 170 quid.

I thought you could only make one entry for one mewp! it took me nearly a year to get about 10 entries. I thought i'd never get it filled - until someone pointed out that you can get a signature for every time you use one.

Yeh, I think its a bit of a farce that you have to re do it. You pass your driving test and thats it. You pass your IPAF course they expect you to fill a log book in each time you use one and get it signed by some one on site and then re do the test after 5 years. Come on! ha

Oh well least I get a free dinner with the course. Mine runs out in January!

Yep,that sounds like Alan,his sense of humour would not extend to the deforming of work area markers....But get him talking about vikings,he "knits" his own chain-mail as a hobby :seeya:

When at the training centre last year the instructor seemed to think that it was all changing soon ( this year I think he said ) , and that unless your log book was filled in and counter singed ( and even then it was at the discretion of the instructor as to whether it looked legit or not !) you would be treated as though you had never been in one and have to do the full course !? He also seemed to think that each class would take between 3 - 5 days to complete from this year onwards and cost around £ 400 - £600 each time !!!!:censored: Has anyone else heard similar ?

 

[shagbite]

this sounds dubious. how can they stretch it out to 3 days? there's nack all to learn. unless they intend to drown you in health and safety.

 

[danielsemaj]

nationwide been on there courses twice

I hope you are right , as with that sort of cost I think I will not be the only one just using platforms without up to date training and certs !

I did my renewal today at 1 UP Access at Sheffield nice small place, 1 day course £180 + VAT there was only 3 of us on the course, also lunch was thrown in so was good.
