NPORS Boom Lift Training & Cherry Picker Course UK

Boom lift training (also known as cherry picker training, MEWP boom training, or mobile elevated work platform boom course) is a nationally recognised programme designed to equip operators with the skills, knowledge, and certification required to safely operate boom lifts, cherry pickers, and articulated or telescopic access platforms.

This course focuses on safe MEWP boom operation, working at height safety, hazard awareness, platform controls, outreach positioning, and compliance with UK health and safety regulations, including the Work at Height Regulations and HSE guidance.

At Vally Plant Training, we deliver NPORS Boom Lift Training and in-house cherry picker certification, helping individuals and businesses improve safety, reduce risk, and meet workplace compliance requirements.

Training is available at our Tewkesbury training centre in Gloucestershire or delivered on-site nationwide, giving candidates practical, hands-on experience using real boom lifts and access platforms.

What is a boom lift?

A boom lift (commonly known as a cherry picker) is a type of mobile elevated work platform (MEWP) that allows operators to work at height with both vertical and horizontal reach. It is widely used for maintenance, installation, construction, and inspection tasks where access is required over obstacles or at height.
