Online Manual Handling Training:

We offer an Online Manual Handling Course, the theory can be completed online and trainees will receive a passport to practical assessment. The practical assessment can be completed by an in house QQI Level 6 Manual Handling Instructor or our qualified assessor can meet your employees to carry out a short practical assessment to meet the requirements. This takes approximately 15 minutes per employee, preferably in their natural working environment. This works very well for companies when it is not feasible to release employees for a half day for training.
