Overview

Manual Handling - The Fundamentals e-Learning training course

We provide a manual handling theory training in Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Gloucestershire, Buckinghamshire and London course for people in the health and social care sector. Pushing, pulling, lifting and carrying are seldom activities we pay attention to. However, dealing with heavy loads (especially people that require a careful approach) can seriously injury themselves when the incorrect technique is applied as many working in the health and social care sector can testify.

The course addresses the difficulties presented by tasks and provides detailed explanations of the issues involved and the correct approach to tackling them. Whilst geared to those whose job is caring for people directly, most of the materials applies generally. Pushing heavy trolleys, lifting people and heavy equipment are all covered.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
