Saw an Ad on Facebook in which I thought was too good to be true. When I see “Free” I always think there is a catch. There is not! Enrolment process is so easy and I spoke to a lovely lady named Tasha who was extremely helpful and answered any questions I had regarding the enrolment process!

Kellie Elliot

I have just completed the free Children and Young People's Mental Health course. I have been really impressed with the course content, and have enjoyed doing it. Would highly recommend It. Thanks to all concerned for providing it.

Jackie Parsons

I just started the course for Equality and Diversity and it is very interested and all the content is very clear and very dynamic with the exercises. I'm very happy with it and probably I will do another one after this. Claire, the Tutor, was very friendly and supportive. 

Begona Bermudez

Spoke to Jo this afternoon regarding the mental health problems course. Jo was thorough, professional and excellent to talk to. She also followed up the call and responded to email in a very timely fashion. She is a real asset to this organisation.

Richard Lane

As I have a lot of spare time and given the current pandemic crisis and the national suicide and mental health rate going up I feel I would benefit from this to help other people. I would definitely recommend this course

During lockdown I used my time to upskill and expand my knowledge. I recommend Mental Health First Aid. Attaining a nationally recognised certificate will help me reach my career goals. It has also given me skills and understanding to offer support to people close to me.
