Hi,

Please can anyone advise of a good training provider in the Northwest for Manual Handling Instructor training. I had previously booked with Health Response for their 4day KIMH course but the course was cancelled a few times. I require this training asap.

Thanks in advance,
Em

Hi Caitlin,

I seen the Rospa one advertised for Manchester in June, only thing that put me off was that it specified:

"Certification applies to the company with which delegates are currently employed,
and covers the instruction of employees within that organisation only."

And

"Delegates who successfully complete the practical and written assessments will be
awarded a RoSPA Manual Handling Instructors and Risk Assessors
Certificate which is valid for three years. After which delegates will be required
to attend a re-qualification course."

I just thought this was a bit of a money spinner. I understand having to keep abreast of any changes in legislation. But can't understand why the course only applies to the company you presently work in.

But thanks for taking the time to respond to my post.

Regards,
Em

I did mine with EEF. Very good value for money/time provided you already know about the law etc and just want to add on the 'instructor' competence.
