‘The ability to study online and in my own time was really appealing.’ Amali says. ‘It enabled me to complete the course within just a few months which was great.’ This isn’t uncommon for our students, as self-paced truly means self-paced, and some students end up moving through their courses faster than the duration which we have on the websites.

Mental health is one of the most difficult work related risks to manage. Despite being a part of the duty of care, most businesses find the challenge of managing mental health risks in the workplace overwhelming. Part of the difficulty is that the approach to mental health management to date has been mostly reactive. This eBook explores the obligations relating to managing mental health risks in the workplace and outlines a holistic approach to the prevention of work related mental health risks.

Absolutely! You’ve got a 7 day cooling off period (or trial period) at the start of your course. Take that time to look through all your learning material and get a feel for online learning. If you decide the course isn’t for you within the trial period, you’ll get a full money back guarantee*.

A Certificate in Mental Health gives you a greater understanding of the ways in which you might provide recovery support for those affected by mental health issues.
Absolutely! If you have prior experience or qualifications that cross over to some of the modules in this course, you can apply for recognition of prior learning (RPL). This allows you to be recognised and credited to certain modules, meaning you can reduce the number of modules you need to study, whilst still getting the full qualification.
