Welcome to this patient transport course from ProTrainings. This course is aimed at anyone who helps transport people with any kind of disability or impairment. It is ideal for taxi drivers, hospital car drivers, private hire cars and patient transport companies.

The techniques used would be the same for a right or left-hand drive car.

Also on this course you will hear from Michael who is an expert on patient transport, care and ergonomics. You will also hear from Vivienne, a wheelchair user and uses taxis regularly sometimes with her service dog.

Throughout this course, you will watch a series of videos, answer some knowledge review questions and then finally take a short completion test. You can start and stop the course as often as you wish and return to it exactly where you left off. You can also watch any of the videos again, at any time, during and after the course.

The course can be viewed on any device, so if you wish you can start watching it on your computer and finish it on your smart, phone or tablet.

On each page of the course, there is text available to read about the subject covered, to further support the video, which you can view with subtitles by clicking the CC icon if you wish. There is also additional help available if you initially answer any of the questions incorrectly.

Once you have passed the test your completion certificate and other downloads will all be available for you to print off.

There are many resources and links to support your training and these can also be accessed from the course home page. We are constantly updating our courses, so check back regularly to view any new material. We give you access to the course for 8 months from when you started it, even after you've passed your test.

We offer free company dashboards, so if you're responsible for staff training in your workplace and you'd like more information on our company solutions, please contact us by email, phone or by using our online chat facility. This may be a course that's delivered online but we offer you complete support throughout your training.
