Preliminary stage hydraulics

In these training courses, we focus both on forklifts and mobile elevating work platforms. The training courses marked with the IPAF logo are IPAF-approved. CAP points can be obtained for all IPAF-accredited courses. For each training day, you will receive 0.5 CAP point when you pass the theoretical test.
