We aim to provide a competent and reliable training provision and consultancy. To find out more, please feel free to contact us at any time. Our team will always welcome you and hopefully exceed your expectations
Before developing and delivering any training, a good training provider engages with the organisation or service that needs training and finds out as much information as possible about the needs and characteristics of the staff and the people they support. This means they are confident that the training they provide is appropriate, proportional, meets identified needs, and any elevated risks are highlighted and adjustments made where needed. This is performed by completing a "Training Needs Analysis" to ensure the training is fit for purpose

Is PMVA training the same thing as certified training?
In short, the answer is NO.
PMVA is a very general term used to describe a broad type of training, i.e., one that involves teaching staff how to apply restraint techniques.
There are various other general descriptive terms that are used to refer to this type of training: ‘Restraint Training’, ‘Restrictive Intervention Training’, ‘Restrictive Physical Intervention’ or ‘RPI Training’, ‘Physical Intervention Training’, ‘Positive Handling Training’ ‘Clinical Holding Training’, ‘Therapeutic Holding Training’, and ‘Safe Holding Training’ amongst many others.
In other instances, a convention has developed where organisation, or company name can be used as a shorthand for the training.
There may also be reference made to training programmes that are ‘accredited’, ‘approved’, ‘authorised’, ‘licensed’ or ‘recognised by..’ some or other body, or alternatively a statement to the effect that curricula or training is ‘Aligned to…’, ‘In line with..’ ‘Mapped against..’, or ‘Following’ the RRN Training Standards.
To avoid any confusion, when you have determined that you need RRN Certified Training, then you should use the Bild ACT website to locate a ‘Certified Training Service’. When you scan through the individual entries of the different organisations, you will see that each use their own unique course titles. The thing to remember is that the courses or curricula listed under each ‘Certified Training Service’ are all RRN Certified.
