In
order to make the most of the training, consideration should be given to the
following points:
| Question |
Alistair Bromhead's response |
| Is the qualification nationally
recognised? |
The City & Guilds Certificate in
Manual Handling Train the Trainer is a nationally recognised
qualification and Alistair Bromhead is the only trainer able to offer
the course |
| Does the trainer have suitable
health and safety credentials? |
Look for CMIOSH (Chartered Member of
the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) which attests to the
demonstration of the competence demanded of professionals in health and
safety management.
Alistair Bromhead is CMIOSH registered |
| 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. |
| Does the course have a good track
record - with positive feedback from past attendees? |
