About this course

What the Moving and Handling of People course covers

Everything in Moving and Handling of People is delivered online and on demand - no classroom, no cohort, no waiting list. Budget roughly 150 minutes for the 13 modules, less if the subject is already familiar. There is no clock on it, so a week off in the middle changes nothing.

The course works through The Principles of Safer Patient Handling, Moving and Handling Assessments, Practical Skills and Transfering and Walking. 9 more modules follow those, all named on the Modules tab.

You will get more out of it if the subject is already part of your week. We list 40 Dental & Medical courses, of which 2 sit at Intermediate. At this length it is one of the quicker ones in the subject. The course is CPD accredited, so the time counts towards a CPD record, and your certificate is available to download as soon as you finish.

What this course is not: It is not an awareness course: if the subject is completely new to you, something introductory will be better value.

Buyer guide

Is this the right course for you?

Best fit

Moving and Handling of People is a sensible shortlist choice when you want a structured route through the published syllabus rather than a general overview of the whole subject. Its 13-module plan starts with The Principles of Safer Patient Handling and Moving and Handling Assessments, which gives you a clear indication of the assumed starting point. That shape is likely to be most useful for dental nurses, practice staff and healthcare assistants whose training need matches those topics. It is a weaker fit if you only need one isolated skill, or if an employer has specified a different standard, awarding body or practical assessment. Before buying, compare that requirement with the final modules on More Hoisting Practicalities and More Hoisting Techniques as well as the course title.

How to use the syllabus

Treat the module list as a study plan, not just a contents page. Begin with The Principles of Safer Patient Handling and Moving and Handling Assessments and note any terms or processes you need to revisit. Around the middle, Bed Mobility acts as a useful checkpoint: if you can explain that material without looking back, move on; if not, repeat the preceding section before adding more. The later work on More Hoisting Practicalities and More Hoisting Techniques is where you can test whether the earlier ideas connect. After each block, write a short example from your own work or a realistic scenario. That simple retrieval step makes self-paced learning more useful than clicking straight through to completion.

Check before enrolling

The listed study time is 150 minutes; reserve more time if the subject is new to you or you plan to make detailed notes. No fixed access period is stated in the validated course facts; ask us before enrolling if a deadline matters to your plans. A downloadable or printable completion certificate is described, but it records course completion rather than replacing a regulated qualification. The course carries a CPD accreditation reference; still check that your employer or professional body accepts this exact course for the purpose you have in mind.
