HOW IS IT TAUGHT?

There are three streams that form the basis of AAMP training in Australia. AAMP trainers offer competency based skills training programs in:

• Acute Care
• Aged Care
• Industry

Training is provided with two distinct outcomes in mind. Level 2 courses in both Healthcare and Industrial Loads are designed for the general workforce. Level 3 is designed for those wanting to become workplace trainers and Level 4 courses are for those people wishing to become accredited Manutention trainers. Level 4 trainers can provide training as an independent trainer, providing training for anyone in the workforce.

It is necessary to start at Level 2 and work your way up through the courses, if you wish to achieve a higher level than Level 2.

The accredited courses vary in length but all courses are carried out over a number of days. This is because it is recognised that it takes more than a few hours to change our movement habits. (For further details see information on the website re Courses)

The teaching approach is based on adult learning principles. All accredited courses are competency based.

Customised short courses are developed by the trainer to suit your workplace. The trainer will conduct a training needs analysis, then develop a course to ensure maximum opportunities for skills acquisition by the participant. These courses can be:

• Based around particular problem areas
• Orientation and induction courses
• Generalised upskilling
