IPAF Training

In the current legal regulations, there is no obligation to obtain a driver’s license for personnel raising platform users. However, many businesses require such training as required by occupational safety policies. The European Union harmonization laws and the occupational safety laws developed in our country will soon require training and driving licenses for the users of the personnel raising platforms. Mak-Ser Platform, which holds an important place in the development of the personnel raising platform sector, took its first place in the development of the training field.

Within this scope, we have opened IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) training center which has been operating since 1983 and has training centers all over the world in Istanbul. In our training center, theoretical and practical trainings are given by IPAF authorized trainers and the successful participants are given PAL Card which is valid all over the world. In these paid trainings, special prices and facilities are offered for the groups. Personnel Booster platform users can apply to these training programs either individually or as an institution. This training, which is given through Turkish educational materials in our training center, lasts one day.
