Why do our customers choose us for online manual handling training?

Some musculoskeletal injury cases (which often culminate by minor bad habits in terms of lifting inanimate objects or loads) could be prevented with adequate training, and account for significant sickness absences amongst the UK workforce. Our online manual load handling course is led by Sarah, a registered nurse and advanced moving and handling practitioner..

We achieve great levels of interaction in all of the courses that we provide and we have endeavoured to create a variety of online courses that continue to provide the great levels of interaction that delegates expect from our courses. The different teaching methodologies that are employed as well as our knowledge and experience and the opportunity for delegates to interact with each other / the trainer ensures that our online training is highly educational and interactive.

Our courses are delivered by knowledgeable and experienced trainers, all of whom hold adult teaching qualifications supported by a professional qualification and considerable, hands-on practical experience which is reflected in our grounded, pragmatic approach.

Teaching 18,000 delegates a year, Acorn Health & Safety offer training to individuals, groups and entire staff teams. We are committed to providing excellent training delivered in a relaxed, yet informative style.

What should you expect from Acorn Health & Safety?

We will provide delegates with a variety of course materials such as handouts and workbooks prior to online training commencing. This will be sent in the form of email so that delegates are able to access these during the course. Upon successful completion of the course - delegates will receive a course certificate for their records and as proof of completion.

As the physical course is practical in nature, we will show all of the practical aspects of the course via video call. This ensures that delegates are able to learn how to handle manual handling of loads safely and remotely.

We achieve great levels of interaction - regardless of the fact that we are delivering this training session remotely. Our expert trainers hold the relevant training certifications and have many years of experience training a wide range of delegates from a wide range of industries.
