We customise (bespoke or tailor) our CPD Group Accredited Workforce Practical Skills Courses to your Manual Handling tasks, loads and environments by the following: Firstly through telephone contact (or via Microsoft Teams) we speak to you to gain sufficient information on the site's/ company's manual handling tasks, loads and environments. Notes from these conversations are saved on our database. Should it be necessary, emailing to us photos, video footage (via WeTransfer for example) and/ or Manual Handling Risk Assessment reports are useful in us further understanding your Manual Handling operations. This information is then discussed with our Instructor who is providing the Courses, a few weeks before the first Training Day goes ahead. Our Instructor has a site tour on the Training Day before the first Workforce Practical Skills Course. Due to the preparation as detailed above, and our all industry national experience, this usually takes around 30-45 minutes. This site tour enables our Instructor to further plan the practical tasks to be covered, and deliver remarkable Courses. This tried and tested Course Customisation Process is supported by our CPD Group Accreditation giving testimonials that you can view on www.osteopathicsolutions-manualhandling.co.uk/testimonials as well as Feefo Reviews you can view on www.feefo.com/en-GB/reviews/osteopathic-solutions-ltd

'Instructor' is a synonym for 'Trainer', therefore our Accredited Courses could be called 'Train the Instructor'. We feel that the phrase 'Train the Trainer' can be a little confusing therefore we have named our Courses as 'Instructor Courses' where they train attendees to be qualified Manual Handling Instructors with competence in delivery of Workforce Manual Handling Training Courses. Our 3 Day and 2 Day Courses are called 'Instructor Assessor' as they also train attendees to be competent in conducting Manual Handling Risk & Ergonomic Assessments.

During Spring 2020, Osteopathic Solutions’ competitors were providing Online Manual Handling Instructor Courses via Zoom. We didn’t think this was such a great idea. What Digital Product would be better? DigiTrain®

A Digital Product that has a one-off fee, with the DigiTrain® content enabling Health, Safety & Training Professionals to deliver Manual Handling Instructor (Train the Trainer) Courses in house. There are no licenses, no restrictions in its use. You can train as many Manual Handling Instructors as you wish, indefinitely.

The cost of this unique, innovative product is just £795* That’s nearly half of the cost of Osteopathic Solutions onsite 2 Day Manual Handling Instructor Course which is priced at a highly competitive £1995, taking up to 6 attendees. With the employment costs of your in-house Instructor over the 2 Day Course, that is a saving of around £800 for the first Course delivered after having purchased DigiTrain®. Each Course after will save around £1600, as NO external Training Provider is needed. *£695 (£100 saving) when you Buy Online via www.osteopathicsolutions-manualhandling.co.uk/buy-online

DigiTrain® will give YOU the following … · Avoiding the need to source potential Training Providers; looking through their websites and Course literature (i.e. Course Outlines and Learning Outcomes); speaking to each of them on the phone; having meetings with colleagues to discuss which Training Provider to choose · Say you have chosen the Training Provider, avoiding the potential back and forth emails trying to secure dates, matching the Training Provider’s available dates to what ALL your chosen attendees can do · Avoiding having to read through the Training Provider’s booking contract, and the potential of having your Procurement Department check the terms and conditions, which may take a week or more in itself · Avoiding delays in booking a Course due to waiting for Purchase Orders · Avoiding having to teach the Instructor what your company does. The Instructor with DigiTrain® will already know your workplace manual handling tasks as they are you, or your colleague What does this give YOU? Lots of time. As you know in business ‘time is money’. Time you can spend on other possibly more important tasks and projects. What else does this give YOU? The ability to upskill in your role, making your job role more interesting and engaging. A possible step up the corporate ladder? And lastly DigiTrain® will give you the ability to have your attendees up and running 2 days after your Course has been completed, as you can mark their Assessments the next day after the Course, and get on with your InHouse Training Programme (with an External Training Provider you may have to wait 2 weeks or more to the get the attendees’ results). To find out more how DigiTrain® can help YOU personally in your work role listen to our Podcast 'DigiTrain®. A Health & Safety Professional's Must Have!' via www.osteopathicsolutions-manualhandling.co.uk/digitrain-podcast written by Gareth Milner, Director of Osteopathic Solutions Ltd and recorded by Sean Antony

Health & Safety and Training Professionals. Having already qualified as a Manual Handling Instructor with significant experience delivering Workforce Manual Handling Training is an advantage when using DigiTrain® but not an essential.

Most importantly it is the content. Innovative documents and presentations supported by Expert knowledge gathered from our Occupational Osteopaths since 2010 delivering Manual Handling Risk Management to clients from all industries across the UK.

If you are part of a big UK Group (as DigiTrain® is a USB you can upload all content to your Group Intranet), if for example your Group ran 6 x 2 Day Courses over a 12 month period across your UK sites, that would save your business around £9600*, not to mention the costs of administration. In 5 years, that is a saving of £48,000*. All for a fixed ‘pocket money’ expenditure of £795**. Plus, you have a product forever! There are no product licenses or subscriptions. *Using Osteopathic Solutions 2 Day Course cost **£695 (£100 saving) when you Buy Online via www.osteopathicsolutions-manualhandling.co.uk/buy-online

Firstly, across the UK no Health & Safety or Training Provider offers such a product. We have seen a few offering a Manual Handling PowerPoint, of poor quality, but nothing that gives the content enabling in house training of Manual Handling Instructors.
