How is the course assessed?
We assess the Moving and Handling of People Train the Trainer in two ways. Firstly, via an end of course written assessment and then a micro-teaching session observation, which involves demonstrating a moving and handling technique.
Delegates are provided with 45 minutes to complete the written aspect. This assessment will take place under strict closed book examination conditions. Individuals are required to prepare for the practical element during self-directed learning hours. They will deliver this during a 15-minute slot on the final day of the course.
