Manual Handling Trainer

Since there is an examination at the end of this course, which candidates will have to pass to receive certification, clients should ensure that only suitably experienced and responsible candidates attend. Successful candidates will benefit from our aftercare programme, and there is even a freephone number for them to use and speak with one of our Chartered Physiotherapists.

All our courses can be provided at the client's premises if there is a sufficient number of attendees. For client's with under 8 candidates, open courses are provided throughout the UK at our Training Centres.
