Access training - Sky High Access Ltd

Access platforms are aerial work platform (AWP) or mobile elevated work platforms (MEWP). They come in various types like cherry pickers and scissor lifts and are used to work at heights.  They can lift a certain amount of weight and carry a certain number of people depending on their type and weight bearing capacities.

The training which is provided for using and handling these access platforms is known as access training. Sky High Access Limited conducts various types of training courses covering wide range of platforms. In these courses, they train according to the guidelines provided by International Powered Access Federation (IPAF). In Sky High Access Limited, they are carried on by qualified professionals. The training here is usually a day long which covers theory, practical and test sessions. The practical sessions are taught and are supposed to be practised on the access machines provided by the association which is offering the training. Generally, the trainees who pass through the test successfully, are provided with a certificate and an IPAF licence which is known as a Powered Access License (PAL) card, valid for some defined number of years, normally five years.
