Manual Handling Train the Trainer · On-site delivery
Help your trainers deliver manual handling sessions people take part in.
Develop your colleagues’ subject knowledge and their delivery together. Through discussion, practical work and teaching practice, we help them explain manual handling clearly, involve learners and relate the session to your workplace.
Discuss your training needsFor colleagues who will train others
This programme is for people who will deliver manual handling training within their organisation. We discuss their existing knowledge, experience and intended training responsibilities before recommending a format.
Need training for staff instead? Explore Manual Handling AwarenessTwo-day and three-day options
We offer two- and three-day programmes. We discuss the range of tasks your trainers need to cover and their development needs before recommending the appropriate option. The agreed programme, group size and price are confirmed in your quotation.
Develop subject knowledge and delivery skills
Plan a useful session
Connect the topic with the people attending, the tasks they do and the learning they need.
Explain and demonstrate
Practise clear explanations and demonstrations using agreed loads and equipment.
Involve your learners
Use questions, discussion and practical activities to encourage participation.
Give useful feedback
Develop the way you observe practical activities and discuss what learners could improve.
Practise your delivery
Try out teaching activities, receive feedback and reflect on what to develop next.
Keep it grounded in your workplace
We discuss the tasks, equipment and environments your colleagues will be teaching in. Where appropriate to the agreed programme, this can include an introduction to relevant assessment tools and how they support the training discussion.
Completing a trainer programme does not by itself make someone competent to teach every task or undertake every assessment. Your organisation still needs to define the trainer’s scope and provide suitable support and review.
