Posted By Clive Sherwood We are currently in the process of creating a new post with a focus upon manual handling assessment and training. We are keen to develop an individual for this role and would like to know of any recognised qualifications in manual handling? Can anyone help? Thanks Clive Sherwood

Posted By Jan Brodie Hi Clive, I don't know if this is an appropriate answer for you but I'm currently 'training' as a Training Officer relating to Manual Handling Instruction and as part of our studies we have been put through 3 RoSPA courses, 'Safer People Handling Trainers Course', 'Safer People Handling Conversion to Object Handling Course' and 'Safer People Handling Risk Risk Assessment Training Course' which relate to Manual Handling training for carers and nursing staff, as well as other areas. We also studied a course with Centaur Training Limited which relates to Handling People with Special Needs. All were interesting and appropriate to what we were doing, hope this is of some help to you, Cheers, Jan

Posted By Dave Wilson To answer your question mate there is no such thing as a 'recognised' manual handling qualification per say.
