Yellow Card

An industry training program providing a safer workplace for all

The EWPA Yellow Card Training Program has been designed for people needing to develop the skills and knowledge required to operate Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs or commonly known as EWPs). The course will provide training in the safe use of various types of elevating work platforms including boom type EWPs with boom length under 11 metres. Participants may complete single or multiple modules, depending on the type of EWP they will be operating:

• Vertical Lift (VL)
• Scissor Lift (SL)
• Self-Propelled Boom Lift (BL)
• Trailer Lift (TL)
• Truck Mounted Lift (TM)
• Advanced Boom (AB)

We have trained over 500,000 operators and have been the leading provider of training for Elevating Work Platforms and Telescopic Handlers since 1987. The EWPA has trademarked Yellow Card to let operators know they are being trained by the EWPA’s Accredited Trainers. To ensure you receive the EWPA’s Yellow Card or Gold Card (for telehandlers), make sure you book a course delivered by our Accredited Trainers and you will receive the authentic EWPA Yellow Card or TSHA Gold Card.

The EWPA Yellow Card training program provides operators with the knowledge and skills to safely operate Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs).
