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.
