What exactly is this course?

• This is a refresher course in First Aid for Mental Health, drawing from subjects covered in each of the courses taught by Qawah Coaching.

Unlike the other courses, this is not a formal qualification. Subject content will vary on the expressed needs of those who have signed up, but will only revisit or update course material from the accredited courses.

This refresher will not requalify you as a First Aider for Mental Health - to do so you will need to attend one of the full accredited courses.

Upon completion of the course, you will be issued with a certificate of attendance, which can be used as evidence of CPD, etc

The course is taken online (using zoom).

Who is this course for?

• Anyone who has previously attended one of the FAA accredited courses covering First Aid for Mental Health. Those who have attended other training events in the subject (for example those run by Mental Health England) will also find the material beneficial as there is no significant variance in content.

** Please note you must be over 14 to participate in this course **

• The standard cost fees are £50 per person
