Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our manual handling certification

Is this course certified and recognised in Ireland?

Yes, our manual handling course is fully QQI (Quality and Qualifications Ireland) certified and meets all Irish workplace safety requirements. The certification is recognised by employers nationwide and complies with Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005.

How long does a manual handling certificate last in Ireland?

A manual handling certificate is valid for 3 years in Ireland. After that, you need to complete a refresher course to renew your certification. Our refresher course (Theory Only) takes under 1 hour and costs just €30. The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) recommends regular refresher training to maintain safe workplace practices.

How much does a manual handling course cost?

Our manual handling course starts from €30 for the Theory Only (Refresher) option, which is ideal if you have prior experience. The Full Course with Theory + Live Practical Exam via Zoom is €40. Both options include your QQI certificate, unlimited exam attempts, and 24/7 course access. There are no hidden fees or recurring charges.

Is manual handling training required by law in Ireland?

Yes. Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the Manual Handling of Loads Regulations (SI No. 274 of 2007), employers are legally required to provide manual handling training to employees who carry out manual handling tasks. Failure to comply can result in fines and prosecution by the HSA.

How do I take the Zoom practical exam?

After completing all course modules, you'll schedule a free 15-minute Zoom session with one of our qualified instructors. They'll assess your practical understanding through demonstration and Q&A. The exam is included in your course fee with unlimited attempts.

Do I need to complete everything in one sitting?

Not at all! Your progress is automatically saved, and you can access the course materials 24/7. Most learners complete the course in under an hour, but you can take breaks and return whenever convenient. Your access never expires.
