Course description
City & Guilds Manual Handling Train the Trainer (Virtual Course)
We can now offer this course in a virtual format – using live online sessions with one of our regular trainers via Zoom. The course is split into 4 sessions of half day each. These can be run across two consecutive full days, but participants may find it easier to spread the course over a longer period e.g. 2 mornings per week for two weeks.
The course will provide the technical knowledge, training skills and course material to design, develop and deliver effective manual handling training. Key benefits of the course:
- Nationally recognised certificate - the UK’s most popular course on this subject
- Caters for a range of experience levels and sectors
- Highly experienced instructors running the course
- Participants receive a unique manual handling instructor pack
- The course has been mapped to NOS (National Occupational Standards)
- Results provided at the end of the course (no need to complete lengthy post-course assignments which delay you becoming a certified manual handling instructor for several months)
- No expiry date on the certificate (you can make your own judgement regarding the frequency of refresher training. We suggest every 3 years)
The course concentrates upon the safe handling of materials and objects (rather than patients). Therefore, it is suitable for sectors such as manufacturing, office, construction, distribution, estates, catering, defence, logistics, driver CPC etc. as well as non-clinical healthcare.

Expenses
Open courses
- £495 + VAT for the first person
- £475 + VAT for any additional people from the same company
There are no additional costs for open courses - the price includes your instructor pack, online tuition and the City & Guilds registration and certification fees.
Please contact Alistair to discuss date options regarding open courses.
In-house courses
If you have 5 or more staff to be trained, an in-house course might be considered (maximum of 8 delegates). We can tailor the content to suit your needs and can alter the daily timings to fit your schedule.
The cost of an in-house event is composed of two elements:
- Course cost £1,795 + VAT
- City & Guilds registration and certification fees of £90 + VAT per person
Thus, for a group of 8 the total cost would be £2,515 + VAT. There would be no additional costs.
Please contact Alistair to discuss date options regarding in-house courses.
