Ithuba Deis Opportunity Manual Handling Training is delivered in person only.
This course does not provide a visa, employment permit or immigration permission to Ireland. Manual Handling Training is an additional workplace safety training course that may be required by employers where an employee's work involves manual handling activities.
If you are currently outside Ireland, please do not book the course unless you will be able to attend the practical training in person.
That will save you a huge amount of repetitive WhatsApp answering.
