FAQs – IPAF Demonstrator Training 1B Static Boom
Do I need a licence before I can book this course?
Yes, you do. You’ll need to already have an IPAF 1B operator licence. This course isn’t for first-timers – it’s for people who already know the kit.
Who usually takes IPAF Demonstrator Training 1B Static Boom course?
It’s mostly for folks who need to show others how to use a static boom safely. Could be a site supervisor, someone doing inductions, or just the person everyone asks how to use the cherry picker.
Is it different from the operator course?
Definitely. Operator training is about you using the machine. This one’s about showing someone else how to do it right – safely, clearly, and by the book.
How long does the course take?
It’s a one-day thing. Usually wraps up in the afternoon. You’ll get a mix of theory, talking through real situations, and some hands-on work too.
IPAF Demonstrator Training 1B Static Boom – Is there a test?
There is, but don’t panic. A short theory bit and a practical part. Nothing fancy – it’s more about making sure you know how to pass that knowledge on properly.
What do I get at the end?
If you pass, you’ll get an IPAF Demonstrator certificate for Static Boom (1B). Valid for five years. It’s what most sites and firms want if you’re doing this kind of work.
Where can I do the course?
We run it at training centres all over – London, Birmingham, Manchester, up north, down south. Just ask what’s near you.
What if I mess up the test?
No worries – it happens. We’ll go over what went wrong, help you fix it, and sort a retake if needed. Most people pass first go.
