Can I take a mental health first aid course online?

Yes. All six courses are online. Level 3 is a public instructor-led course with a maximum of 8 learners. The separate Online Mental Health & Wellbeing Course lets you learn at your own pace and takes around one hour.

Level 1, Level 2, refresher and in-house training are instructor-led online courses for group bookings only. The short self-paced awareness course is delivered by Online CPD Academy.

What qualification or certificate will I receive?

Successful assessment on the Level 3 course leads to a Qualsafe Level 3 qualification. Level 1 and Level 2 have their own assessment and qualification outcomes. The short online course provides a mental health awareness certificate after successful completion.

The refresher provides a Skills Training Group completion certificate; it does not extend the validity of your original qualification. Check the individual course page for its assessment and award details.

How much does mental health first aid training cost?

The public Level 3 course is £295 excluding VAT (£354 including VAT). The short self-paced online course is £14. Request a group quote for Level 1, Level 2 or refresher training. In-house online instructor-led group training starts from £650 + VAT.

Use the Level 3 booking calendar for public course dates, enrol directly on the short online course, or contact us to discuss a group booking.

What does a mental health first aider do?

Mental health first aid training explores recognising signs of mental ill health, listening, providing initial support and helping someone access further help.

The role has limits: it does not make you a clinician or replace professional mental health care.

Where can I see public course dates?

The Level 3 booking calendar shows dates for public online instructor-led courses. Each course has a maximum of 8 learners. For the group-only courses, contact us with your preferred dates and learner numbers.
