Slinging and Lifting Train the Trainer Course for Employers Delivering In-House Lifting Safety Training
Acadame’s Slinging & Lifting Train the Trainer course is designed for employers who need to develop competent internal trainers to deliver safe, practical slinging and lifting training in the workplace. This programme is ideal for organisations that want to improve lifting safety standards, strengthen internal competence, and ensure training is relevant to the equipment, loads, and lifting environments their teams use every day.
Because this is a practical lifting operations train the trainer course, it is delivered on the employer’s site rather than at our training centre. That allows the training to be carried out using your own lifting equipment, accessories, loads, and working environment, giving delegates a more realistic and job-specific learning experience. It also helps build familiarity and confidence with the exact processes and plant used on site.
This bespoke workshop supports managers, supervisors, safety advisers, and experienced personnel who have responsibility for delivering slinging and lifting training to the workforce. It combines core lifting safety knowledge with trainer development, helping learners understand both safe slinging and lifting operations and how to structure, deliver, and assess effective in-house training sessions.
Well-planned lifting training can help reduce incidents, improve productivity, minimise damage to equipment and stock, and support safer day-to-day operations. Acadame can deliver this training onsite nationwide, and while many of our courses run from centres in Stoke, Derby, Manchester, and Liverpool, this particular programme is built around delivery at the employer’s premises due to its practical nature. Through our managed service and partner network, we can also support wider national delivery requirements.
If you want a recognised teaching qualification rather than an in-house trainer certificate, the Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET) is a strong next step.
