Questions to ask when choosing a manual handling train the trainer course

In order to make the most of the training, consideration should be given to the following points:

Does the trainer have practical experience of working with industry? Alistair Bromhead has been working with commercial businesses for the past 15 years.
Does the trainer have good training experience? Alistair Bromhead has been running training courses for the past 15 years.
What is the maximum group size? To get the most benefit from your training, a small and interactive group is essential In order to get the most out of a training course, it is essential that it is an interactive and hands-on experience. Alistair Bromhead limits the number of participants to keep sessions interactive. Group size will normally be less than 10 with an absolute maximum of 12.
Do participants receive CD based copies of presentations which they can adapt and use for their own training? Some courses give limited course material to participants and put restrictions on its use.

Alistair Bromhead provides a comprehensive Instructor pack with everything a trainer needs to run their own successful sessions, such as lesson plans and Powerpoint presentations on CD.

We have run manual handling training before with limited effect. Why should results be any better after undertaking the C&G course? The C&G course recognises that it is no use adopting traditional training approaches such as:
  • Plonking participants in front of a video
  • Simply showing them how to lift a box.
  • Telling them they need to handle items differently because the company says so

The course concentrates on equipping trainers with a range of techniques to raise personal interest in participants  and to give them an incentive to integrate sound handling principals into their daily lives. Only through generating motivation and encouraging participation can a course hope to achieve real change.
