Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) Training

 Safe access to height, with the right machine for the job

Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) are designed to provide safe, stable access to high-level tasks—essential for working at height across construction, maintenance, and industrial environments.


MEWPs include Scissor Lifts, Cherry Pickers (Boom Lifts), Push Around Verticals (PAVs), and more. These machines are vital for tasks such as repairs, inspections, stock picking, and installation work at height.

Ideal for construction, facilities maintenance, and warehousing

Whether it’s changing high-level lighting, accessing racking in a warehouse, or working on exterior building maintenance, 


MEWPs provide a safe alternative to ladders and scaffolding. Their versatility makes them indispensable on modern sites where both safety and efficiency are essential.

Course Details

Train on your site, with your machine

Our MEWP Training Course is delivered directly at your location using your own equipment—whether that’s a scissor lift, boom, or push-around platform. This ensures your team trains in a familiar setting with the machine they'll be using.


The course meets ITSSAR standards and is tailored to your site’s specific layout and working at height needs.


Training starts with a safety briefing and video, followed by thorough hands-on exercises. Delegates will learn how to operate safely, perform pre-use checks, and work within legal and practical height safety requirements.

Novice Course – 3 days (1 delegate) or 4 days (2–5 delegates)

Experienced Operator Course – 2 days

Operators who successfully complete the course will receive a forklift truck certificate recognising their MEWP competence.
