Moving and Handling of People

This Train the Trainer course is designed for those looking to train others in the safe moving and handling of people within a care setting, ensuring that they are aware of the relevant legal guidelines which they must meet. In addition to being taught how to practically apply a range of moving and handling techniques in the workplace, delegates will gain an understanding of biomechanics and ergonomics.

A large part of the course focuses on training methods so new instructors are able to answer any difficult questions from their trainees. Once the course has been completed, your organisation will benefit from having a moving and handling trainer and advisor on site.

  • We will provide the training on your premises.
  • The training environment will need to be quiet and undisturbed.
