FAQs
- What exactly is a mobile vertical scissor lift?
It’s a powered platform that moves you vertically, making jobs at height (like repairs or installations) much safer and more efficient. - Do I need prior experience for this course?
Not at all. We welcome beginners as long as you’re comfortable with basic safety practices. - How long does my IPAF PAL Card stay valid?
You’ll be set for five years. After that, you can renew by taking a refresher course. - Can I complete the entire course online?
You can do the theory online with our eLearning option, but you’ll still need a practical session to fully qualify. - What equipment should I bring?
Bring along your PPE—hard hat, safety boots, and a hi-vis vest should do. We’ll handle the rest!
