IPAF Construction Package

SPA Core Construction

This SPA Core Construction Training course is the first step needed for anyone wanting to apply for a CSCS Green Card designed for labourers. The one day course is a theory based course covering common hazards on a construction site, safe working practices and any health-related risks whilst at work.

IPAF Operator (3a & 3b Categories Only)

Our IPAF Operator course is designed to address the needs of those operating Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs) such as cherry pickers, scissor lifts, vertical platforms, self-propelled, telescopic and articulating booms.

Emergency First-Aid at Work

Our one-day Emergency First Aid at Work Level 3 course instructs delegates in how to react appropriately in the event of a medical emergency in the workplace, in line with the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.

Safety Harness User

Our Harness training course covers the safe use and pre-use inspection of safety harnesses. This half day course gives candidates a working knowledge of the relevant regulations, how to assess the risks and select the correct personal fall protection equipment for safe working.

Individual agendas for each course can be found on their relevant training pages:

All other courses are all theory-based courses and no PPE is required.
