Take this course to become more aware about the reasons why it is important to move people safely.
This course is ideal for all workplace requirements, as it includes safer moving and positioning of people as well as manual handling of objects. This is a shorter version of our full course. We recommend that you take our level 2 course rather than this course if you work in any care environment.
This course is just aimed as an awareness course, increasing knowledge in moving techniques rather than practical experience.
