The Level 2 Award in First Aid for Mental Health is ideal for all employees within a workplace who are looking to either create or maintain a positive culture in the workplace, as well as in their personal lives. This course is an extension and further expands on the work learned in the three hour Level 1 Award in Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health. To note, you do not have to attend a Mental Health First Aid course prior to undertaking this course.
In order to complete this course, there will be a range of methods used to demonstrate your knowledge, including practical real life scenario examples and questioning. The final examination will be multiple choice and open questions.
Upon successful completion of this course, each delegate will be issued with an Ofqual regulated Level 2 Award in First Aid for Mental Health. This certificate will expire three years after the date of completion. However, for this course, annual refresher training is strongly recommended.
If you would like to book onto this Level 2 First Aid for Mental Health course, get in touch with us today, and we can assist you with booking the course at one of our training venues if you are a group booking. Additionally, you can book the training course in house, which may be more cost effective for you.
