Which is the best train the trainer course to do?
Also will people with a train the trainer who have years of experience at working at height be able to deliver working at height training to people after completing a recognised train the trainer course?

In terms of your first question, I would of course say 'Mine'!
With regard to whether someone with experience can train someone else, after completing a 'Train the Trainer' course, the simple answer would be yes, maybe?? Without going down the 'competency' trail again (!!) many many people train without any 'Training' qualification at all. And some have excellent results! But, as with anything, if you understand more of how learning takes place, successful ways to structure a course, etc. then you are leaving fewer things to chance.
I know 'Trainers' who have so many qualifications that you wonder if they had time to build up experience. Likewise, I know may with no qualification at all. Some are good at what they do... some, I wouldn't touch with the proverbial 'Barge-Pole'!!
Another point I would stress is that just because someone has vast experience and are fantastic at their current job... Doesn't necessarily mean they will be a great trainer.
Think of Football Managers... Not always the best players become the best managers... similarly, some very mediocre players or even non-players, become legendary Managers!
Masterclass over... Off to put the cones out in the garden and dribble a ball round!
Take care!

Hi Sean,
I did the City & Guilds 7307/1. This is the first (and shorter) part of a fully-feldged adult ed qualification, and is suitable as a stand-alone for people delivering short courses. I'd recommned this approach over a simple 'train the trainers' course as it is acceptable to all the award bodies, and allows a further qualification with appropriate study. Also, I really enjoyed it,
John

would this allow us to deliver work at height training, manual handling training etc, providing we have relevant experience within these fields??

Hi
IMHO a train the trainer course gives good knowledge of training technique, but to deliver a course, you would need a presentation as train by memory is not a good idea. If you are "competent" at the required items and can develop for instance a presentation, then yes, you could deliver the training. As usual though, it's all down to defining "competence".
