You do not need any qualifications to deliver health and safety training. It could be argued you do need knowledge and experience of the subject, the core competencies. I have delivered all manner of training in-house and external without any training qualifications. Looking at those prices I won't be getting any some time soon.

What awards body has registered trainers do you mean NEBOSH ?

You would need to ensure you cover all the aspects of training outlined in L117 - basic training, familiarization and on the job. L117 states Selection of instructors 33 When arranging for training, employers should satisfy themselves that it is in accordance with this ACOP. Operator training should only be carried out by instructors who have themselves undergone appropriate training in instructional techniques and skills’ assessment.* * Training may be carried out by suitably trained in-house trainers, or externally, if the expertise is not available in the company. So you would need to be suitably trained. You could read that to mean that as your registration has expired you need to refresh your training to satisfy your employer. Ian

Thanks for all the comments, I hold training certification for the types of equipment I train on and I also hold train the trainer CIEH and A1 Assessors qualification and PTTLS The way I see it is its my registration that's expired not my experience and it allows me to keep my experience of driving this plant up to date

solidpine, you do appear to have the experience to be a competent trainer. But your question was: Should someone have an accident while you are training him, or even sometime after, you could be in court to give evidence. You would need to convince the judge that you were, and still are, a competent trainer without the refresher training/registration. He would look at the evidence of your training certification for the types of equipment you train on, your 'train the trainer' CIEH, your A1 Assessors qualification and PTTLS, and he would make a decision based on that.

That made me laugh. I think it is one of the few times I have seen it written correctly. Even when I worked in a college the director of the department that taught it, kept writing PTTLS instead of PTLLS

by instructors who have themselves undergone appropriate training in instructional techniques and skills’ assessment.* The above is the key quote and the second line in particular. It does not require a competent instructor to regularly undergo refresher training in the particular plant that is the subject of training no matter what the RITB, CITB and others would like you to think.
