Manual Handling Training, Page 2420 Reviews

A good course pitched at a good level, allowing a broad range of skill sets to fully understand the basics of manual handling. The medical side of the course is very interesting and quickly dispells many misunderstanings of the term "slipped disc". The demonstraions are most useful and clearly describe the correct and safest techniques for lifting. As with all training courses people have differing opinions on the content and level, and whilst the videos demonstrate the lifting of a PC and a table, in in my personal opinion perhaps using some more day-to-day examples of different loads would be useful. This would better show the problems with unequal loads and the more uneven shaped loads that may be encountered.

Good worthwhile training presentation.

A good training programme with good graphics, however I got bored with the personnal comments by the 2 ladies in the first section. As these did not contribute to the test questions, are they necessary. The longer training programmes like this take the "mind wander" factor increases.

simple to follow

Very good and comprehensive. Learnt just as much, if not more, than I did from a Manual Handling course in a class with a trainer. Excellent.

I like the way it is set out, apart from the 'NEXT' buttons aren't immediately obvious. It's great to give to a trainee, and to be able to tell from the pass mark whether the training has been effective.Maybe we'll take some ideas for our internal (non-H&S) training...

It is a good way of learning - doing it at your speed, you can take things in more easier - as everyone learns differently, better than sitting in a classroom. good course. thank you

It would be helpful for the introduction to include an estimate of the amount of time the training will take so the individuals can assess how to fit it into their schedules.

The software tool is simple to use and the instruction was clear and followed a logical sequence. I thought some of the preamble and examples added perhaps a little too much padding that could have shhortened the whole package but for those who have not dones this training before it would have useful.
