IPAF & PASMA in One Day — E-learning Route

Complete your IPAF Operator and PASMA Towers for Users training with two separate e-learning courses before attending one day at a Harris Safety training centre. The combined package costs £325 + VAT per person (£390 including VAT).

Your attendance runs from 8:00am to 5:00pm and consists of two half-day sessions, one for IPAF and one for PASMA. The order of the sessions will be confirmed in your joining instructions.

What the package includes

IPAF Operator training for two categories: choose 3a + 3b, 3a + 1b, or 1b + 3b.
3a is Mobile Vertical, including scissor lifts; 3b is Mobile Boom, including cherry pickers; 1b is Static Boom, including spider lifts.
PASMA Towers for Users training for mobile access towers.
Separate IPAF and PASMA e-learning courses, followed by the required attendance, training and assessments.

Successful completion of the relevant theory and practical assessments is required for each qualification. The package covers two IPAF categories; an all-three-category option is not available for this combined day.

Complete your e-learning before attending

Both the IPAF and PASMA e-learning courses must be completed before your booked attendance date. Allow enough time to study both courses and contact the office promptly if you have not received access or need help. Bring your completion evidence and the course materials specified in your joining instructions.

PASMA Towers for Users includes a theory assessment and an observed practical assessment. The theory assessment is open book using the supplied course notes, with an 80% pass mark. Completing the e-learning does not replace these assessments.

IPAF arrangements for 28 and 30 October 2026

Complete the IPAF online theory and applicable online test before attending, following your joining instructions. Practical training and assessment take place at the training centre.

IPAF arrangements from 2 November 2026

For the 6, 9 and 20 November dates, IPAF Operator e-learning candidates must take an in-person theory test on arrival under classroom conditions and pass it before starting practical training and assessment. The online theory test is a practice test only. Candidates who fail the in-person theory test must return on another day; a same-day in-person retest is not available.

Revise the theory before attending. Any open-book notes must exclude practice questions and answers and will be checked by the instructor. Follow the joining instructions for permitted materials.

The harness training and equipment dropdowns are independent and both default to No. Your booking shows the selected quantities and charges before you continue to the basket.
