IPAF 3a 3b Training

Course Introduction

Our IPAF 3a 3b Training course is delivered every day at our 5-star FEEFO training centre in Knowsley.  We own a range of new machines so we can offer 1b, 3a or 3b categories. 

This can come in a mixture of combinations on the day, from 1 machine or up to 3 machines if you’re experienced.  

Why not send us your team so you can have them all trained all at once or if work doesn’t allow, spread them over a few different dates at our centre.

All course costs are inclusive of a 5 year IPAF registration (ePAL), FREE parking and unlimited tea/coffee – with great hospitality.
