The Future of MEWP Training in Essex: Trends and Innovations

CONTACT US

What You Can Look Forward To

There’s no doubt that health and safety training has changed massively over the past decade. Even compared to five or six years ago, there are so many differences! Here at Harrington Safety, we are committed to combining good old-fashioned customer service and hands-on experience with the latest trends and innovations. So let’s take a look at what the future might hold for MEWP training, along with why we are considered by many to be the leading providers of IPAF training Essex has to offer.

Remote learning

This is perhaps the single biggest development in the health and safety training world, and it is one that is here to stay. The pandemic saw a huge rise in demand for online learning, and that has remained the case over half a decade later. More of our courses can be fully or partially completed online than ever before, making learning with us incredibly convenient.

AI

You can’t talk about innovation without mentioning AI. While it is no replacement for genuine human skill and connection, there are so many ways in which it could be used in MEWP training in the future. It could be used to pick up on learner behaviour and any gaps in their competency, allowing for more personalised training. We’re really excited to see where this goes!

Virtual reality

VR headsets might be popular with those playing video games, but there is growing excitement that they could be used as part of IPAF training in the future. They could be a great way for learners to explore potentially hazardous scenarios before moving on to the real thing. This will not only give them more confidence but could also see higher pass rates.

Apps

While this is technically something that happens after you have passed a course, it is a change that is very much upon us and one that we are big fans of! The IPAF ePAL app is a digital wallet that allows you to store your PAL cards along with logging your experience and completing any pre-use checklists. This can all be done on your phone with just a few taps! Having everything in one place makes it so much easier for you and your employer to access the right information.

Why customers choose us

Far too many IPAF course providers are stuck in their ways, and while this means that their customers always know what to expect, it also means that they run the risk of being left behind. We’re always keeping up with the latest developments and innovations in training, and if there is something that we can implement that will improve your experience, you can be sure that we will give it a try!

How we can help

While not all of the above has come to pass yet, we are ready to embrace change and innovate, as long as it makes the experience better for our delegates. In the meantime, why not see how we are helping learners just like you right now? Our team is on hand to answer all of your questions and point you in the direction of the most appropriate training course for you.

We started using Harrington Safety in 2021, the staff are very helpful and professional and go above and beyond to help with last minute requests.

The feedback from our operational team is that training is professional and informative.

Very well structured, managed and informative course provided by both professional and personable staff. The theory and practical tuition that I received put me in good stead to go straight in and operate a 10 ton cherry picker safely and with confidence, both essential factors when using such equipment. I would recommend Harrington Safety Ltd to anyone needing not just to get qualified, but to also feel comfortable operating MEWP systems for their trade.

Georgi

Ryan was really good instructor, he made sure we understood the theory part of the course and gave us enough time to practice with the machines, so we felt confident before move on to the test. Excellent training!!

Brendan

Phenomenal training, Ryan’s ability to teach and ensure I fully understood each module in both theory and practical before moving on has left me confident in transferring these skills to the work place.

Roy

To start with, this course was outstanding. I've been on a lot of training courses over the years and some are good and some are boring and you can't wait to leave. This course was engaging, the instructor included all students. There was no useless information everything was current and valid no fluff or fillers if you like. The practical was straight to the point and spot on. All in all a good experience and brilliantly put together training course. Top instructors and staff. Highly recommended training facility.

Neil

Very good presentation by Gary and very helpful when answering questions.

Harrington safety will be my number one go to for any courses I need to do. I completed my IPAF 3A and 3B and passed 1st time. They let you do the eLearning at home that helps me because of my current position at work. Thank you Paul for a smooth and clear instruction of both the boom and scissor vehicles and Charlie for getting onto IPAF to get my online card quicker, will definitely recommend.

First time using Harrington Safety and I found them to be very professional.

The booking process was easy, their responses to any questions was nothing short of instant and their follow up was there!

Thank you Harrington, and I will definitely use you again and advise others to do so.

My certificate and my card arrived today. Thanks for your help, and wonderful attitude. I have many certificates, but your centre is the best. For my next certificate I will be calling you! Thanks.

Alan F

Great teacher, would recommend his courses and will come back to him in future.

Paul was a very good teacher. Easy to understand and helped me when needed. I felt comfortable in his classroom and confident to ask questions. When friends ask, I will recommend.

Ray H

Very knowledgable and passionate tutor

When arriving, I was nervous and unsure of my abilities. The trainer made me feel at ease as soon as I came in. If I needed to ask questions I did, and they were answered clearly and in a way I understood. The practical work was challenging but my trainer guided me through and made it as interesting as possible. Will definitely be recommending this company.
