How Is the Course Delivered?

The Mental Health First Aid course is delivered over two full days (approximately 6–7 hours each). You can choose between:

  • Classroom delivery at our central Aberdeen venue, with group activities and face-to-face interaction.
  • Live online sessions, delivered via a virtual classroom with the same content and certificate.

Both formats are fully interactive and led by accredited trainers, ensuring you gain the same skills, confidence, and certificate of completion.

Entry Requirements

There are no formal entry requirements for this course. It is suitable for anyone aged 16 or over who has an interest in supporting others. You simply need to be comfortable taking part in group discussions and role-play activities, and have a good understanding of English to follow the training materials.

What to Expect

We want every learner to feel safe and supported. The training includes sensitive subjects such as suicide and self-harm. If you ever feel uncomfortable, you can pause or step away. If you’re booking for someone else, please ensure they feel ready to participate.

Our team is available for a confidential chat if you’re unsure whether this course is right for you.

How Is the Course Assessed?

Assessment on the Mental Health First Aid course is continuous and practical. You’ll take part in discussions, group activities, and role-play exercises that help demonstrate your understanding. There are no formal written exams — instead, the focus is on participation, building confidence, and applying what you’ve learned. You may also complete a few short quizzes during the course to check your knowledge and reinforce key concepts.

Will I Get a Recognised Certificate?

On successful completion of the course, learners receive an accredited Mental Health First Aid certificate, accepted nationwide by employers and organisations.

The certificate is valid for three years; after this period, refresher training is strongly recommended to maintain current knowledge and skills. Holding this certificate demonstrates a clear commitment to workplace wellbeing and to reducing the stigma surrounding mental health.

🎯 Boundaries, Safeguarding & After-Care

This training focuses on giving you the skills to listen, reassure, and guide — not to diagnose or provide therapy. You’ll learn how to create safe boundaries, when to share concerns with a supervisor or professional service, and how to handle sensitive information responsibly. We also provide follow-up resources and signposting tools, so you’ll know where to find additional support for yourself and others after the course.
