Trusted Safety Council Courses

Choose a course from the cards above, create your account at checkout and begin. Every course behind trusted safety council courses 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. There is no venue and no timetable. Wherever you are in Ireland, the course opens when you enrol and the certificate is the one employers in Dublin, Cork and Galway already accept.

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.

Nothing is lost. The assessment can be taken again at once, free of charge and without limit, and the certificate follows the first pass.

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.

You work through short lessons at your own pace, answer a knowledge check after each and finish with one assessment online. The course remembers where you stopped, on every device, and a failed attempt costs nothing: retakes are free and unlimited.

Less time than a classroom session, and on your own schedule. The duration of each course is on its page, most learners finish in one sitting, and anyone who prefers can spread it over several days.
