Course Overview
Falls from height remain one of the biggest killers in construction and industry, and mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) demand trained, certified operators. IPAF training is the international standard, and the PAL Card is recognised proof of competence across the Gulf and worldwide.
Agora delivers IPAF operator categories including 3a (static/vertical, e.g. scissor lifts) and 3b (mobile/boom), alongside broader working-at-height safety training — hands-on and machine-based.
