Who needs training in moving and assisting people?

We have been recognised as an endorsed provider from Skills for Care, earning the prestigious distinction as a Centre of Excellence within training and health & social care.

This online Moving and Assisting of People course is ideal for continuous professional development, refresher training or familiarisation. This can be completed solely online if distance learning is all you require in your role.

This course is ideal for all workplace requirements, as it includes safer moving and positioning of people as well as manual handling of objects. The course is designed to meet the requirements and recommendations of the HSE Manual Handling Regulations 1992 as well as other relevant regulations and guidelines. It also includes a module on slips, trips and falls.

ProTrainings are one of the few Skills for Care centres of Excellence where we passed stringent checks to prove our commitment to high-quality training and compliance. 

It can be taken as an online or classroom course by one of our approved instructors. The online course also acts as a good refresher course for those who just need their skills to be refreshed.
