Very enjoyable, learnt new techniques on moving and handling.

The trainer was active, explaining very well the most important parts of this course, was interactive.

Good pace, very well demonstrated. But room was to small for the amount of people in the room.

Practical part was really good learnt a lot of new ways to use a slide sheet.

Excellent, have learnt excellent advanced uses for slide sheets, sling hoists. Should've known these 10 years ago.
