The PASMA Standard Tower Course is aimed at any person who is involved with the use of Mobile Access Towers. This course provides candidates with the necessary training to safely erect, use, inspect and dismantle aluminium or fibreglass Mobile Access Towers, covering component identification, assembly criteria, stability, hazards, safe use, maintenance and inspection.
Once qualified, delegates whose work involves stairs, steps or escalators should follow up with the PASMA Tower on Stairs Course, which builds directly on the knowledge covered here. Anyone needing low level access equipment alongside standard towers should instead consider the PASMA Combined Tower & Low Level Access Course, which covers both in a single qualification.
Upon successfully passing both the theory and practical assessments, delegates access their virtual photo-card and certificate via the TowerSure app, available for both iOS and Android devices, valid for five years. PASMA Operator training courses require delegates to bring ID or a National Insurance number to ensure certification is correct, alongside a safety helmet with chin strap, safety boots or shoes, gloves, and a hi-vis vest. Please note that PASMA can take up to four weeks to issue certification, and should a physical copy be required, additional fees will be incurred.
