Training and Assessment on Your Vehicle Plus Safe Carriage of Wheelchair Users.
This course has been developed to assist those regularly or occasionally carrying a wheelchair user by car. The course content is tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual(s) concerned.
Typically the course content includes the legal obligations of carrying a wheelchair user, the types of lifts available (and how to use them), how to securely fix a wheelchair to the vehicle, best practice on wheelchair users getting in and out of the vehicle.
Where the delegate(s) have access to a wheelchair accessible car, then we prefer to provide the training using their own vehicle and equipment, and we can offer training at your venue. This helps us to ensure that the course is specific to the circumstances of the particular vehicle and driver(s) concerned. Where applicable, the trainer will also be able to give advice on whether you have the correct/sufficient equipment for safely transporting a wheelchair user.
We don’t publish a set of training dates for this course as we prefer to schedule the course dates to meet the needs of the delegate(s). This flexibility enables us to run courses on a weekend, as well as during the week. Those completing the course are issued with a Certificate confirming that they have received the training.
Trailer towing is something that we may be able to offer if you have the appropriate sized trailer and towing vehicle along with a suitable sized area to practice in before venturing onto the highway
Travel and overnight costs will also be applied if outside of Leicestershire
