Star Platforms

Star Platforms Limited is a powered access hire, sales, and training specialist headquartered in Dunstable, with depots spanning Luton, the North West, Kent, the Midlands, Reading, East Anglia, and the South West, giving it genuine UK-wide reach. The company supports a wide range of sectors, including data centres, construction, art and special projects, and sports and events.

The provider's specialisms include the full range of IPAF-accredited training, covering Powered Access Operator courses for 3a Mobile Vertical and 3b Mobile Boom equipment, MEWPs for Managers, and MEWP Spotter training, alongside PASMA training for mobile access towers. Further IPAF courses, including Demonstrator, Harness Use and Inspection, and Loading/Unloading, are also available on request. Successful candidates receive an industry-recognised ePAL card, with the option of a physical PAL card, valid for five years.

A distinctive feature of Star Platforms' training model is its hybrid delivery format, allowing candidates to complete IPAF theory training online at their own pace before attending a local training centre for the practical assessment, reducing both time away from work and travel requirements.

With IPAF-accredited trainers at every depot and a strong base of positive customer reviews praising instructor knowledge and course quality, Star Platforms has built a genuinely scaled, accredited offering for businesses and individuals working with powered access equipment.
