Frequently Asked Questions
How long is this certificate valid for?
This certificate is valid for 3 years . Some new employers require a renewed certificate on change of employment, regardless of an in-date certificate.
I have seen this available as a half-day, why is this course full-day?
Manual handling is a prerequisite for this course. Some training providers offer an online learning manual handling course and then do the patient handling element in person as a half day.
At MTI we put high value on in-person training and an increasing amount of employers do not accept online Manual Handling certificates.
Do I have to participate in the practical element of this course?
The practical elements within this course are an essential part and must be participated in.
