Manual handling training is a legal requirement in Ireland.

​

Complete our Online Manual Handling course at your own pace and book your practical assessment when you're ready.

​

My self paced Online Manual Handling Course (Theory & Quiz element) is a 45 minute course designed to help organisations deliver training to employees as soon as they begin work and before they might need to undertake a manual handling task. This flexible model is a great alterative for businesses who have a very busy operation and reduces the pressure of organising staff cover which offer a great return on investment.

To fully complete this course and receive a full certificate a "Instructor Led Practical Assessments" must be organised on completion of the theory element. Please note: "The video and Theory element is not enough on its own"

 

How it Works?

To earn your Manual Handling certificate, you’ll first need to complete our online course. This will provide you with the necessary theoretical knowledge. Once you’ve finished the online portion, you’ll need to complete the practical assessment, conducted by a certified QQI Manual Handling Instructor. This hands-on session typically takes 20 - 40 minutes depending on the number of participant. This assessment must be pre arranged on completion of the course.
