Professional Manual Handling qualification

Following my last post "Health & Safety Trainer looking for help and advice", could anyone suggest a manual handling qualification I could go for say 3-5 days that would be able to back up a CIEH train the trainer.
In my current employment I have had full in-house training and plenty of experience with conducting MH risk assessments. I have also written and delivered MH training courses, but would like to back this up with a formal qualification.
I have seen plenty of 1 day courses but I'm sure they would not give me any more than I already know.
Thanks if anyone can help

Bob,
I found the RoSPA Manual 'Handling Trainer and Risk Assessor' course very good.
The only downside is that the course is light on handling 'people'. I am now having to consult the NHS 'Blue Book' to beef up my presentation and enable me to reach a wider audience.

Funnily enough I found the IOSH course excellent, which I attended at the Grange. So good in fact... I am attending the "Skills in Manual Handling Training - MH for instructors" tomorrow (11 - 12 April)again down at the Grange in Leicester. Great venue, great instructors and great courses.
Regards
Frank

There are a number of "train the trainers" courses and if concerned about patient moving and handling then suggest you contact your local Moving & Handling Co-ordinator at the local hospital (they can put you in touch with some companies).
I also have a contact who has a website for trainers etc. if you're interested then send me an e-mail and will reply with details.
Regards
Bill

How many people go back to RosPA to "re qualify"?

Peter,
I, for one, did re-certify with RoSPA.

Thanks for all the advice, Over the last few weeks I have been weighing up my career path and looking at most of the recent threads, I know it is going to be tough.
For the moment I have decided to put all my resources into sitting the NEBOSH diploma as I am assuming this is generally recognised as the minimum standard for any H&S position. I have also figured out that pound for pound, I will get more out of a diploma than the sum of all the individual courses (does anyone agree?).
