WHAT WE DO

AWPI OSHA Compliant Training at Your Site

(Lecture, Discussion, Written Testing) and Practical training including:

  • Demonstrations by the trainer, and exercises performed by the trainee
  • Evaluation of the operator trainee performance in the workplace.
  • Upon completion, the operator is issued an AWPI Operator Certification card valid for 3 years.

The AWPI training meets or exceeds the standards outlined by OSHA 29CFR.


IPAF Training at Your Site 


Delivered at your site, using your equipment, our "site-specific" training consists of a combination of formal instruction (Lecture, discussion, interactive computer-based learning, video, and written material.) Practical training (demonstrations by the trainer, and exercises performed by the trainee.) Evaluation of the operator trainee performance in the workplace is included. Upon completion, the operator is issued a PAL identification card and diploma which are valid for 3 years. The training meets or exceeds the standards outlined by OSHA 29CFR.

The eLearning module delivers flexibility and interactive tools, with the same emphasis on practical training. Together with supervised written and practical testing of operator skills, the eLearning module can lead to a PAL Card (Powered Access Licence) which proves that the operator has successfully completed the training and is able to operate MEWPs safely.
