Manual Handling Instructor
-
Greatly enjoyed the 2 days. The course was run by an excellent trainer in a very friendly and interactive manner. We covered plenty of ground regarding technical issues and trainer techniques - but in an enjoyable manner. The group gelled very well and their mixed backgrounds and experience levels added value to the course

To take into account
The course is suitable for participants from a wide range of backgrounds. Health and safety management experience as well as training qualifications are useful but are not a pre-requisite as participants will be trained in both the technical and the training related issues.
