IPAF eLearning FAQ’s

CONTACT US
Problem: ‘Help’ I can not find my eLearning theory.

Problem Solved: Check the email you provided us on your booking is correct, then please check your Junk folder. Sometimes the eLearning theory can fall into here. If after checking you still do not have it please contact us on 0800 059 0599 between the hours of 8am and 5pm, Monday – Friday.

The theory will come from IPAF ‘noreply@ipaf.org’ and the header of the email is a black and yellow banner. The title of the email will be – You have been registered on a IPAF MEWP Modular Operator Theory Training (EN-UK) course. To complete the invitation process please follow the link provided. [en-GB]

Please click the yellow box titled ‘Accept Registration’ or the link directly below the box to start the theory.

Problem Solved: The eLearning theory is section 3 of the process. You must first complete section 1 (Candidate Details) and section 2 (Candidate Photo) before it will automatically allow you to move on and start section 3 (the theory – labelled eLearning).

Problem Solved: The theory is uniquely issued and linked to the email address it was sent to. If you create your account and input a different email address in section 1 (Candidate details), it will not link the theory to you. To solve this, create a new ePAL account using the email addressed the eLearning was sent to.

Problem Solved: You can complete the theory at your convenience with 24/7 access to the portal. You can complete it in one sitting or multiple, shorter sittings. The system will save your progress so when you next log in you can start from where you left off.

Problem Solved: The theory re-issues to you automatically providing you with another opportunity to complete the theory and attempt the test again. It will do this up to 3 times until you achieve a successful result. Just make sure it is successfully completed before your confirmed practical training date.

Problem Solved: In order for the system to allow you to progress through the theory you need to complete each section fully. This means watching all the videos until the very end (let it run to a natural end and do not finish it early) and also means completing everything they have asked you to do within this section you are on. If you do not complete everything it will not allow you to proceed.

Problem Solved: This is because the camera has not been able to verify your face against the initial images taken when you set your account up. The facial recognition software identifies key features on your face including the shape and your eyes and mouth and these features need to be maintained in order for the system to continue recognising you.

Some examples could be: Adding or removing glasses or a hat, that you are not in a well lit area, the sun is shining on your face and obscuring your image, other people have been picked up within the camera range or the camera is not directly facing you and could be resting face up on a desk or table.

Your image must remain the same as the photos taken for your account and must be directly facing you.

Problem Solved: A nice easy one, you do not have sufficient internet. Please double check the wifi is running at a sufficient speed. If the wifi is not running sufficiently, switching to use mobile data can often help if you have this available. Alternatively use a different connection which is stable and solid. Try closing all other web pages down and re-start the IPAF eLearning application.

Problem Solved: This is not required, you are in the wrong system. Please click the below link to get you back on the correct eLearning system - portal.ipaf.org/Course/MyCourses. Log in if prompted

Problem Solved: Please log in to portal.ipaf.org/Course/MyCourses and complete any outstanding steps, this includes the feedback evaluation. If ALL steps have not been completed the certificate will not download with your photo on.

Once everything is completed, the course certificate should then show as expected.

Additional support guides and FAQs can be found on the IPAF support site homepage https://support.ipaf-pal.org/

If more support is required, IPAF can provide technical support Monday – Friday 9am – 5pm. Please contact them on support@ipaf-pal.org or call them on 01539 566 700.

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.

Michael

The training was perfectly delivered. I will be quite happy to take my training here again

Laurean
