About Horizon

Horizon has built its reputation as a successful rental and sales company, offering powered access platform solutions to customers across the UK.

Our years of experience correctly operating mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPS) mean we are experts when it comes to complying with legal requirements and meeting health & safety obligations.

By combining this knowledge with our renowned attention to detail, we have developed industry-leading tuition that ensures everyone attending one of our courses leaves fully prepared to operate equipment of this kind.

WHO SHOULD TAKE THE COURSE?

Anyone planning to use – or currently working with – mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPS) for personal use or for use in a construction environment.

Even those who have had previous IPAF training often find taking a Horizon course can help renew confidence while operating equipment.

And remember, your Powered Access Licence (PAL) expires after five years so it may be time for you to think about refreshing those skills.
