E-Learning Courses IPAF Spotter Training Course
It is a standalone course, completely separate from the operator card or harness add-on. The new MEWP Spotter Training Course is concise, theory-only, and delivered entirely online, for convenience, enabling candidates to learn in their own time, at their own pace, on their own devices.
Theory only and done entirely online. The course is theory-based, takes around two and a half hours to complete, and is done entirely online. Participants who pass a final test receive a qualification valid for five years. There is no practical/classroom element.
Who can book it?
The MEWP Spotter Training Course is available to book now through all English-speaking IPAF Approved Training Centres (except North America).
Successful candidates receive a qualification valid for five years. It’s also worth noting that IPAF’s Training Manager Paul Roddis recommends the course not just for spotters, but also for operators, supervisors and site managers, to ensure everyone on site understands the spotter’s role, hand signals and where the spotter should be safely positioned.
A MEWP Spotter is a role assigned to one or more people to observe MEWP operations onsite in real-time, and where necessary, communicate with the MEWP operator to direct them away from any obstacles or hazards that may be beyond the operator’s line of sight. The requirement was first identified by powered access contractors, many of whom routinely assign the dedicated spotter role on their worksites as part of their risk assessments, as it has proven to reduce accidents and incidents.
