Recognised Training Courses

Start with the course cards on this page: choose the course your work calls for, enrol in a minute and it opens at once on any phone, tablet or computer. Everything listed under recognised training courses is fully online, so there is no classroom to book in Ireland and no date to wait for.

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. The courses are online, so the county makes no difference: Dublin, Cork and Galway and every town between them are served by the same courses and the same certificate.

Yes. The duty in Section 10 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 is to train employees for the hazards of their work; how the training is delivered is left to the employer. What an inspector looks for is the record, and each course here ends in one: a dated certificate with a verification code.

Yes. The course was built for small screens as much as large ones, so a phone carries every lesson and the assessment, and your progress follows you if you switch to another device.

Each certificate carries its own expiry date, set by the course, and the course page states it before you enrol. Renewing means taking the course again as a refresher: the new certificate is issued as soon as the assessment is passed.

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.

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.

The course page states the duration before you enrol, and most learners complete a course in one sitting. There is no access window to run out: stop when you need to and continue later from the same lesson.
