it might be worth updating the card soon lads, there adding card readers to a lot of the lifters/cherry pickers etc now
i just sat my ipaf today, cant believe what happend though, passed on cherry picker but hit a cone on the last bit of the 3a vertical lifter.
you can do the theory part online at some places now as well not rolled out everywhere yet though

Does that mean you failed? My ipaf and pasma run out next year so will have to do them again. I've never filled in the logbook either.

only failed 3a passed the 3b test so can drive a cherry picker but not a mewp XD

That's a pita then. Are you doing the 3a again?

I've got ipaf but never use it, just the type of work I guess. However, I have an iPad which does get used!

I actually done my IPAF not far from you...nationwide platforms in Lutterworth.

yeah, need it for a job im doing for the next few months and cant hurt to have it

not a mewp XD

Presume you mean a scissor lift. They are all MEWPs (mobile elevating work platforms).

Incidentally my IPAF & PASMA both need renewed soon.

if you have 60 within the last 5 years. need 10 in the last year.

when did it expire? if its over 3 months you need the full test again

4 month ago looks like full test then:sad3:

looks like new serial as well.

if its less than 3months or so you keep the same code if its more its likely to change

When I did my Ipaf I ask the instructor how many Renewal test they do and the answer was "NONE" I don't even Know if there is real course for renewing and I don't Know any one who fills out the book ( except Mykey now) , Mine runs out the end of the year so will be going on my 4th course then It seem a bit harsh that you did not pass for hiting a cone though and what do you mean by the card reader on the lifts do you have to scan your licence to get it work ?
