Well, not that identical platform, but one quite similiar! I spent all fecking day today about 60ft up in the air performing all kinds of manoveres lol and walked away with my IPAF 1B (Vehicle Mounted Platform License) and in a few weeks Im back there for my 3A (Scissor lift) and 3B (Self Proppelled Boom Type)

The 3B is the one NOT to do if youve got vertigo lol Ill be going vertically up to a height of 125ft :D

Lol, reminds me of the time I used to manage a load of these vehicles, and the drivers.
I had claims from customers from all over the south of England, "your driver has smashed/broken the concrete,lampost,hedge with the supporting legs.
The worst one was a driver "forgot" to lock his legs in the closed position, he came round a corner and one of the rear legs swung out and almost split a Mondeo in two!, that wasn't the worst though, the pregnant lady driver was in hospital for three weeks.
Good luck with your licence, but I don't envy you lol
