Manual Handling Instructor Testimonials

“I found the course excellent and felt the Instructor made a real effort to have everyone in the class relaxed. All the relevant H&S Legislation was covered along with all the Anatomy and Bio- Mechanics. Attendants were also taught how to perform a Manual Handling Risk Assessment. The slides which we were given at the end of the course were also excellent. I would recommend anyone looking to attend such a course to seriously consider Qualtec’s.”

Padraig Hurley, Onsite Safety Officer, BOC Edwards

"The course, delivered by people with a keen knowledge of industry, was packed with practical instances that I could easily relate to manual handling activities within my own organisation. I was particularly impressed by the scope and the content of the course which was theoretically interesting, practically informative, comprehensive and yet concise. I have come away from the course with a definite sense of empowerment and confidence to deliver effective manual handling instruction to my own work colleagues. "

“I found it to be an enjoyable learning experience, with benefits both professionally and personally.”

Gina Mizzoni, Assistant HR Manager, Clarion Hotel Dublin Airport

On completion of the Manual Handling Instructors Course I felt that I had the confidence and competence to go into the training environment and deliver the course as prescribed.  This in the main was due to the tuition received over the week long course from two highly competent tutors.  The tutors at all times were approachable, helpful, and showed a tremendous amount of understanding.  I would have no hesitation in recommending this course, and would be happy to use the services of Qualtec again in the future.

Angela McGee, AMH Services.

"I attended the manual handling trainers course run by Qualtec last year. I I found the course met all of my expectations and more. Sean Kelleher is a competent and enthusiastic trainer and he keep my interest and attention right to the end of the course. The reading material was laid out very well in easy to follow format. The handouts at the end of the course were great in that they could be adapted to any working environment and so were suitable for all of the attendees. I have no hesitation in recommending a Qualtec Manual Handling trainers course to others who need to acquire this very beneficial skill.” Vivienne Thornley. Healthworks, RGN, Dip SHWW, MIOSH.

"Manual Handling Training: I attended one of Qualtec's Manual Handling Instructor Training courses earlier this year in Maynooth, Co. Kildare.  It was presented by Mr Sean Kelleher over duration of 5 days.   From start to finish the highest quality and standard of presentationmaterial was used along with an excellent guest speaker Mr Gill whoagain portrayed the height of professionalism. The one thing I found unique about the course was Sean's method of teaching. His use of examples and scenarios were excellent.  Hisknowledge and experience is vast and very relevant to the message being portrayed.   My experience of dealing with Qualtec is that they are a veryprofessional organisation with a very strong customer care ethic.  I amlooking forward to attending many more of their courses in the very nearfuture.  Our own company have used Qualtec in relation to Health andSafety consultation and would highly recommend them for the provision ofthis service."

“I was a delegate in a Manual Handling Instructors and Assessors Course under the management of  Sean Kelleher of Qualtec Safety Trainers and Consultants in June 2006. I found the course to be well executed. The format used for the presentation, explanation of the relevant information was excellent. There was also a good opportunity for interaction and role playing between the instructor and the course delegates.”

Ray Curham, Quality Assurance Manager Standex (Irl.)

“Five days to learn how to lift a box!” was the standard comment from work colleagues when it was announced that I was to undergo training as a Manual Handling Instructor.  To be honest that was also my reaction.  However, as I soon discovered during the course, there is more to Manual Handling than “lifting a box”.The course conducted by Qualtec covered all required aspects of manual handling training including legal requirements, injuries, anatomy and most importantly how to present the information to co-workers in an informative and professional manner.”

Clive Mills, Senior Scientist/Quality Manager, Megazyme International Ireland Ltd.

“Having recently completed your Manual Handling Instructors course, I wish to give it my full support.It is an intense, instructive and very worthwhile course covering all aspects of Manual Handling, and an excellent presentation skills section. Wishing you ongoing success with your courses.”

“I found your instructor's course extremely informative and understanding and I am currently basing my own training on the knowledge I gained from it. As I train a range of men (pre-apprentices to qualified electricians), I also found the pointers you gave us on how to express ourselves and deal with different personalities within the groups very useful indeed!”
