Understanding IPAF 3A and 3B Training

The IPAF 3A and 3B training courses are the most popular IPAF categories and are often booked together by construction and maintenance professionals across the UK.

IPAF 3A – Mobile Vertical (Scissor Lift)

The IPAF 3A course teaches the safe operation of mobile vertical platforms, such as scissor lifts, used for both indoor and outdoor tasks. Participants learn pre-use inspection, safe manoeuvring, risk assessment, and how to operate within confined spaces. This training is essential for anyone working on installation, cleaning, electrical, or fit-out projects.

IPAF 3B – Mobile Boom (Cherry Picker)

The IPAF 3B course covers mobile booms (often called cherry pickers), which extend vertically and horizontally. This course focuses on stability checks, safe elevation, ground assessment, and emergency procedures. It’s ideal for building maintenance, telecoms, signage, and external construction work.

Training is delivered by experienced instructors who blend theory and practical exercises to meet IPAF standards. All successful candidates receive the IPAF PAL Card, a globally recognised certificate valid for five years.
