  • What is manual handling training?

    Manual handling training teaches safe techniques for lifting, pushing, pulling, and carrying objects to prevent injury. It includes risk assessment, posture, and equipment use. Workplace training allows participants to practise correct methods in their actual work environment, reinforcing safety procedures relevant to daily tasks and reducing workplace incidents.

  • Are assessments part of every course?

    Yes, accredited courses include assessments to verify competency in both theory and practical components. These assessments ensure that each participant meets the required industry standards. Workplace training enables assessments to be completed in familiar conditions, improving accuracy and confidence when applying the learned skills on the job.

  • How do I know if I’m eligible for CSQ funding?

    CSQ funding eligibility depends on factors such as employment in the construction industry, Queensland residency, and previous qualifications. Criteria vary between programs and course types. Please give AIT Office a call to find out more about eligibility criteria for funding in your area.
