How is the Course Delivered?

Our manual handling training and assessments run for two hours in total.

Before you enter the classroom, there are important primary steps to complete.

The pre-course reading is mandatory and must be completed before your practical session.

This preliminary work must be digitally completed for a student to be permitted into the in-person class.

Understanding the pre-course reading material will prepare you to participate in the interactive face-to-face session.

Once enrolled, our comprehensive course content can be accessed through your online student portal.

This portal means you can view the material at your convenience, study at your own pace and choose times that fit your schedule and working hours.

However, ensuring the online content is completed before your face-to-face session date is important.

The time needed to complete the self-paced content will differ from student to student, depending on individual working speed and previous knowledge.

While the duration may vary, we recommend putting aside at least a half day of study time to work through the course material.

This approach ensures a complete understanding of the course content and improves learning outcomes.

Our training centre values your time, always striving to provide an effective, streamlined learning experience.
