FAQs – IPAF Demonstrator (Cherry Picker / 3B) Training
Is this course for operators or trainers?
It’s not for total beginners. You already need to be an operator. This is for people who show others how to use cherry pickers properly – on site, during briefings, or as part of their day job.
Do I need a licence before I book this?
Yes, you’ll need a valid IPAF 3B operator licence. And a bit of real experience helps – we build on that, not from scratch.
What do you actually do on the day?
Bit of theory, mostly hands-on. You’ll go over checks, setup, safety, and how to explain all that clearly to someone else. We look at what really happens on site – not just textbook stuff.
Is it hard to pass?
Not if you’ve been on the machines before. There’s a short test, yes – but it’s fair. We’re here to help you learn it, not to trip you up.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes – it’s an IPAF Demonstrator certificate (category 3B). Recognised across the UK. Lasts five years.
What kind of cherry pickers are used?
Modern ones – similar to what you’d use on a real site. No clunky old kit. You’ll train on actual boom lifts (category 3B).
Can supervisors do this course?
Absolutely. If you show others how to use the kit – even informally – this training makes sure you’re doing it right and legally covered.
What if I fail?
We’ll go over what went wrong. Most people who take it seriously don’t have trouble. You’ll likely get another shot once we’ve cleared things up.
Where’s Demonstrator Training Mobile Boom – Cherry Picker (3B) held?
We run sessions in various places – London, Birmingham, Manchester, up north too. Just ask and we’ll tell you what’s near you.
