Certora Shortlisted for IPAF Training Centre of the Year Award

The growing importance of operator competence, working at height safety and practical workforce development has been reflected in the shortlist for the 2026 International Awards for Powered Access (IAPAs), where Certora Training has been named a finalist for IPAF's Training Centre of the Year Award.

Widely regarded as one of the powered access industry's most recognised international awards, the IAPAs attract entries from training providers, manufacturers and organisations from across the world. The shortlist was selected from more than 130 entries, highlighting the scale of competition and the increasing focus on training quality throughout the sector.

For industries such as quarrying, construction, utilities, waste and recycling, the nomination reflects the growing importance of training that extends beyond certification and develops real operational competence. Over the last twelve months, Certora Training has continued to invest in practical delivery methods, workplace-relevant training environments and support materials designed to help operators apply their training safely and effectively once back on site.

The nomination also recognises wider industry engagement, including involvement with accrediting bodies, training committees and working groups that help ensure training standards remain aligned with operational reality. Through collaboration with employers, instructors and industry organisations, Certora Training continues to contribute to discussions surrounding competence, safety and workforce development across the sectors it serves.

The winners will be announced at the International Awards for Powered Access in Istanbul, where leading organisations from across the global powered access sector will gather to recognise achievement in safety, innovation, training and operational excellence.
