This week all second year Event Management students and Leisure Marketing students are being trained in manual handling in preparation for their live events that will take place from February to March.

As part of their degree all the second year BAEM and BALM students are required to host their own events. The events range from Charity Auctions, to student events, to School fundraisers and all will involve some sort of manual handling at some point.

The training involved being taught how to correctly lift and move objects before the students got a chance to practise themselves.
