PASMA Training with APS

PASMA-Accredited Training

Training isn’t just best practice – it’s the law. If your team operates scissor lifts, cherry pickers, boom lifts, or mobile access towers, they must be properly trained before use.

What is PASMA Training?

PASMA – the Prefabricated Access Suppliers’ and Manufacturers’ Association – sets the recognised standard for safe mobile tower training. Its courses teach delegates how to:

  • Assemble, inspect, and dismantle mobile towers safely.
  • Understand potential risks and how to mitigate them.
  • Use towers correctly on site to avoid accidents.

On completion, delegates gain a PASMA card and certificate, proving competence and compliance for a wide range of industries.

Why PASMA Training is Essential

Employers have a legal duty to ensure staff using mobile access towers are properly trained:

  • Work at Height Regulations 2005 - requires all workers to be “competent.”
  • Council Directive 2009/104/EC - mandates adequate training for anyone operating work equipment.
Beyond compliance, PASMA training:
  • Reduces accidents and safety risks.
  • Improves efficiency and confidence when working at height.
  • Provides site access credentials often required by contractors.

By choosing APS, you’re not just ticking a legal box – you’re ensuring your workforce is trained by an independent, trusted authority with over 30 years’ experience.

Our PASMA Training Courses Include:

Most PASMA courses are completed in just one day. Successful delegates receive a PASMA card and certificate valid for five years.

  • Towers for Users
    The core course, covering safe use, assembly, and dismantling of towers.
  • Low-Level Access
    Training for podiums and folding towers.
  • Combined Course
