Everything You Need to Know
PASMA courses provide a nationally recognised qualification, making them extremely popular for many people. Working with delegates in all kinds of industries, we deliver PASMA courses for people at all kinds of stages in their careers.
While there is no doubt that PASMA training is in high demand, do you actually need it to carry out your role? This is something that we are asked a lot, and there is so much conflicting information out there! So we thought that we would put together all the details you need on PASMA courses, the law and what you should do next.
What does the law say?
This is where people tend to get the most confused, so it’s a good place to begin. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 state that anyone who works at height must be competent. So the law itself says nothing about PASMA training! This has led many people to believe that PASMA courses aren’t worth their time. It’s not quite as simple as that, though.
Why are PASMA courses so popular then?
PASMA courses are seen as the gold standard when it comes to work at height safety training when working with mobile access towers. Not only do they fully cover all relevant legislation, such as the Work at Height Regulations 2005, but they are also regarded by employers and health and safety professionals as the easiest way to ensure that someone is trained to the appropriate level when building, using, moving or dismantling mobile access towers. So if you have completed a PASMA course, you will be seen as meeting all of the competency requirements that the law demands.
Do employers require PASMA training?
While the law itself doesn’t state that PASMA training is essential, its recognition across such a vast number of sectors means that it is often a requirement for employers. Many will not consider candidates who have not completed a PASMA course. So if you want to be able to access the roles that you have all the skills and knowledge for and move up in your career, completing a PASMA course could be the final piece in that puzzle.
How often does a PASMA course need to be completed?
Once you have successfully completed a PASMA course, you will obtain a PASMA licence. This is valid for five years, so you really do get a lot of value for your training. When the time comes to complete a course again, you will have a chance to catch up with the latest regulatory developments and show employers that you continue to be an asset.
