As most of our IPAF courses involve an element of practical work at height, you are required to wear PPE during your practical training and assessment, including Safety boots, Safety helmet with a Chin Strap, High-Visibility Clothing and a Safety Harness. Specific requirements will be outlined in your booking confirmation email and joining instructions.
PPE can be purchased from Reception at our Tonbridge & Ashford Training Centres. We provide all necessary course materials, including manuals and training equipment for practical assessments.
Yes, we have safety harnesses available for usage on our training courses at both our Tonbridge & Ashford Training Centres. However, they must be returned prior to leaving the centre otherwise you may incur an additional charge for the cost of the Harness and delay your certification.
After successfully completing your IPAF course, your instructor will provide you with an IPAF temporary permit, which serves as proof of training while your licence is audited and processed by IPAF. This process typically takes 7 – 10 working days from your training date, after which your digital licence will be available through the IPAF ePAL app - provided you have no outstanding payments due on your IPAF course.
IPAF now issues all licences digitally through the ePAL app, which is free to download on Apple and Android devices. If you would also like a traditional plastic PAL card, you can order one for a small additional fee at the time of booking your course. Alternatively, it can be ordered from Reception at our Tonbridge and Ashford Training Centres – also for a small additional fee.
