100% Real Verified Reviews
A Word Between Friends
Let's be honest with you. The internet is full of scam training websites and reviews no real customer wrote. That's why we do the opposite. Every review we have comes from a real person who took a real course with us. No fakes. No hidden feedback. They are all on Google Maps, where we can't edit or rewrite them. Be especially careful with scam websites showing reviews that appear to come from platforms such as Reviews.io. Reviews displayed on their own website may be fake, because the website owner can add, edit or fabricate them directly in the site code. Always verify the business on Google Maps instead. Today, we hold the No.1 spot across Ireland, with more real reviews than any other health and safety training company, built on 30 years of real work at honest prices. You don't have to take our word for it. Just tap the Verify us on Google button below and read every review.

CPD Accredited Training FAQ, Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Manual Handling, Manual Handling Course, Manual Handling Training, Manual Handling Certificate, Manual Handling Online and Manual Handling Refresher at Irish Manual Handling Dublin Ireland.
Choose a course from the cards above, create your account at checkout and begin. Every course behind CPD accredited training runs online from the first lesson to the certificate, which is why there is nothing to schedule and nowhere to travel in Ireland.
Every certificate carries a unique verification code. An employer, an inspector or an insurer enters it on the verification page of Irish Manual Handling and sees the name, the course and the date in seconds.
Yes. Employers in Ireland, from construction and pharma to healthcare, hospitality, logistics and agriculture, accept it because it can be checked: each certificate is CPD certified, shows the course and the date and has a verification code that confirms it online. It is accepted across Ireland, the UK and Europe as well.
Yes. Every course is 100% online and open at any hour, so a learner in Dublin and a team in Cork start the same minute and hold the same certificate.
Yes. Section 10 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 asks the employer to give employees the training their work calls for and names no format.

Yes. A phone is enough: the lessons, the knowledge checks and the assessment all run in the browser, and you can move to a tablet or a computer at any point without losing your place.
Most learners finish a course in a single sitting. Each course is self paced, progress is saved automatically on every device and the certificate is issued the moment the assessment is passed.
The live price is on each course card and it is the whole price: the course, the assessment, unlimited free retakes and the certificate. Volume discounts apply automatically for teams.
Ask what the job involves and who is asking for the certificate. A named course from an employer, a site or an insurer settles it; otherwise the course cards on this page, from manual handling and manual handling theory to working at heights and abrasive wheels, show which course covers which work, and more than one can be taken under the same account.
It depends on the course. The period is given on the course page and the expiry date is printed on the certificate itself, so nobody has to remember it. A refresher, the same course taken again, renews it with a new certificate.

Essential Knowledge
What is Manual Handling?
The training every Irish workplace needs to lift safely, prevent injury, and stay compliant with the law.
Manual Handling refers to any activity that involves lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving a load by hand or bodily force. Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007, Irish employers are legally required to assess manual handling risks and provide appropriate Manual Handling Training to all employees who perform these tasks. The key principles of manual handling include planning the lift, keeping the load close to the body, bending at the knees, avoiding twisting, and using the TILE risk assessment method (Task, Individual, Load, Environment).
Manual handling injuries are among the most common causes of workplace injury in Ireland, accounting for over a third of all injuries reported to the HSA each year. Back injuries, sprains, strains and musculoskeletal disorders can all result from incorrect lifting techniques. Completing a Manual Handling Course is not just a legal requirement. It is essential for protecting your health, preventing injury, and advancing your career.
Manual Handling Training, Irish Legal Requirement
Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007, Irish employers must provide Manual Handling Training to all employees whose work involves lifting and moving loads. A recognised Manual Handling Course keeps your workplace compliant and avoids HSA enforcement action and fines.
A Certificate Accredited by QQI
