The purpose of this course is to introduce candidates to the requirements of this critical role and the training and safe operating practices that should be at the heart of any MHE environment. The content found in this course is aimed at those wishing to move into a managerial or supervisory role within an MHE environment and those already in the role looking to improve their understanding of their duties. Upon successful completion of this course and assessment, candidates will be issued with a certificate to prove their attendance. This should not, however, be the end of the learning process because the real test will be the application of what has been learnt in the working environment. It is also essential to remember the importance of renewing this qualification through Refresher training; this is required from a NORS registration point of view, but it is also critical for each individual’s continued development and effectiveness in their role.
