Hi,
I'm interested in undertaking some instructor training in manual handling, food hygiene, fire awareness etc. with a view to doing some freelance work or securing a position with an existing training company.
Could anyone please advise me on where to source recognised training for instructors in these areas and to tell me if there is a recognised awarding body for such qualifications.
In addition I'm based in the north east of England if anyone knows of any relevant opportunities.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Steve

Hi Steve,
A good starting point for training is the CIEH Professional Trainer Certificate which I believe is registered at Level 3 on the National Qualifications Framework. The CIEH should be able to point you in the direction of suitable training companies in your area. (Please note that I don't have any links to CIEH - but I did start my training career by taking the PTC and then built on that with additional qualifications).
There are a number of companies who offer training courses for manual handling instructors and so on. A Google search will give you a head start on this, but I'm afraid I don't have any knowledge of such companies in your area.
Hope that helps,
Andy

Thanks Andy,
My main concern is identifyinh the relevant sanctioning body for each discipline in order to get the most highly regarded or widely recognised instructor qualification.
I had originally submitted a similar enquiry a good while ago but I've been working all over the place offshore so i never had the same incentive to actually get the ball rolling.
This time though!
Thanks again.
