At WKL Training Ltd, we provide professional NEWPS training to help operators safely and confidently work with Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs). These specialised machines are commonly used across construction sites, warehouses, maintenance projects, facilities management, and industrial environments where working at height is required.
NEWPS training is designed to ensure operators understand how to use powered access equipment safely, reducing the risk of accidents while helping businesses remain compliant with health and safety regulations. Through a combination of classroom-based learning and practical training, delegates gain the skills needed to operate equipment efficiently and responsibly.
Whether you require a Scissor Lift Course or a Cherry Picker Course, our experienced instructors can deliver high-quality training tailored to your business requirements.
Our Scissor Lift Course is designed for anyone who operates or plans to operate a scissor lift in the workplace. Scissor lifts are a type of Mobile Elevating Work Platform that raise operators vertically, providing a safe and stable working platform for tasks carried out at height. They are commonly used for maintenance work, stock taking, electrical installations, decorating, construction projects, and warehouse operations.
The course provides delegates with the knowledge and practical skills required to operate a scissor lift safely and effectively. Training covers both theoretical and hands-on elements, ensuring operators understand the responsibilities associated with working at height.
Topics covered within our Scissor Lift Course include:
Upon successful completion of the course, delegates will have a greater understanding of how to safely operate scissor lifts in a variety of workplace environments. This helps reduce downtime, improve workplace safety, and minimise the risk of accidents involving powered access equipment.
Our practical training sessions ensure operators gain valuable experience using the equipment, giving them the confidence needed to work safely and efficiently on-site.
Our Cherry Picker Course is designed for operators who need to safely use boom-type Mobile Elevating Work Platforms. Cherry pickers are widely used where greater reach and flexibility are required, allowing operators to access difficult or awkward working areas safely from an elevated platform. These machines are commonly used for building maintenance, roofing work, telecommunications, tree maintenance, signage installation, and construction projects.
Unlike scissor lifts, cherry pickers can extend both vertically and horizontally, making them ideal for reaching areas that would otherwise be difficult to access safely. Proper training is essential to ensure operators understand the specific risks associated with operating boom lifts and elevated work platforms.
During our Cherry Picker Course, delegates will learn:
The course combines classroom instruction with practical exercises, allowing delegates to develop the skills required to operate cherry pickers safely in real workplace situations. By completing a Cherry Picker Course, operators can help improve site safety, reduce the likelihood of accidents, and ensure work at height is carried out in accordance with current health and safety guidance.
