Sinoboom to launch IPAF eLearning in China

Sinoboom is to work with IPAF to provide its eLearning programme in Chinese to aerial lift operators in the country free of charge.

Sinoboom will also make the training more accessible by placing QR codes on all of the platforms it delivers in China. The QR codes can be scanned by operators, providing instant access to the free IPAF e-training programme. The initiative is aimed at improving national safety and training standards.
The programme covers a range of topics, allowing operators to progress to higher levels of certification, and can contribute to attainment of the internationally recognised PAL Card.
