Hi Robert, Usually the training provided by the delivery driver is only machine familiarisation. IPAF is certainly the UK Construction Industry recognised standard as well as being recognised abroad. Each operator is issued a card with a three year expiry date and competency can be checked on-line. You can do a search for IPAF providers on line or if you want send me a PM and I'll forward details of a few we use nationwide - no connections just satisfied customer. As has already been mentioned, there are of course other training/accreditation providers out there, but whether their training would be deemed suitable and sufficeint to prove competency is another matter.
