I want to deliver in-house abrasive wheels training for our operatives but need a template/format to go off.  Can anyone help with a link / power point presentation prior to me taking the practicle element please?

We have just started using this online course. Its got a slideshow and a test at the end, and then it generates a certificate.

Intereted to hear what peoples thoughts are on online training for the use of abrasive wheels.

I wouldn't be comfortable with allowing someone to use an angle grinder without practical trainnig.

iHasco are a fantastic provider of online training an their courses are really in depth and professional. We use them regularly for various courses. If you look at the course description though, it does state that this online unit is great in supporting practical training, therefor I wouldnt use this alone and call it job done.

We provide our guys with practical every three years and then the online course as a refresher at 18 months.

I agree with wobblemouth on this one. This discipline definately requires a hands on approach.

The website for on-line training definatly states that it's used to support practical training.

Sorry I misunderstood this one, all of our workers have been on a ROSPA training course initially. We use the online one as a refresher.
