IPAF
The first wave of apprentices on a new route to certifying specialist MEWP technicians have been celebrated by members of the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) as they left for North Warwickshire & South Leicestershire College (NWSLC) in the UK.
The Level 3 Lift Truck and Powered Access Technician apprenticeship forms part of IPAF’s Roadmap to Qualified MEWP Technician or Engineer Status, which meets growing demand in the hire and maintenance industry. The first intake of eight apprentices—from Access Engineering, Versalift, Mainline Group, 1 Up Access, Horizon Platforms, CTE UK Ltd, Southern Platforms, and GT Access—was confirmed earlier this year, and a special welcome ceremony was organized for them on their first day at college.
