Hi, I've been down the City & Guilds route. There's a guy called Alastair Bromhead who runs the course (2 days). It was very good - excellent tutor. You leave feeling pretty confident you can then train your own workforce. You can just goggle his name.

Hi ROSPA do a very good train the trainer for object handling and one for people handling too, they have recently updated their course to become a recognised qualification via BTEC. Have done both - both are 5 days in length and were very informative.

I have recently attended a train the trainer with a local H&S training firm. I spent two days with the tutor, was then left to create my presentation material, and then had to present this to him. I was then given further advise and support on how I could improve both the content and my technique. I'm now deemed competent to offer in house MH training. It wasn't cheap, but it will pay back over the years. Pete

For what it's worth we too have used Alistair Bromhead. I'll be doing his course in July and we'll see if he is as good as they say.

I agree with pikachus. Rospa privide an excellent and thorough course. 5 days may seem a long time compared with some but they are thorough and you will understand the subject matter by the end of the course

Hi, I went down the route of PTLLS training and provided me with a good background in how to develop and write my own courses. I also completed a 4 day manual handling train the trainer course some while ago. Would recommned looking at http://www.backcare.org.uk/, they also provide manual handling training which looks at the whole training package, not just how to lift correctly but also how to take care of yourself.
