Entry Requirements

This training is open to anyone aged 16 or over with an interest in supporting the mental well-being of others. No previous qualifications are required. You should feel comfortable taking part in group discussions and role-play scenarios, and be able to follow the materials in English.

What to Expect

We aim to create a safe and supportive environment for all learners. Some topics, such as suicide or self-harm, may feel sensitive. If you feel uncomfortable at any point, you are free to pause or step out. If booking on behalf of someone else, please ensure they are prepared to participate.

If you’re unsure whether this course is right for you, our team is happy to have a confidential discussion before you book.

How Is the Course Assessed?

The Mental Health First Aid course in Bexley is assessed through ongoing, practical involvement rather than formal exams. You’ll take part in short knowledge checks, group discussions, and role-play scenarios that allow you to put learning into practice. The emphasis is on active participation, building confidence, and applying the techniques covered during the sessions.

Will I Get a Recognised Certificate?

Yes. When you complete the course, you will be awarded an accredited Mental Health First Aid certificate that is widely recognised by employers and organisations across the UK.

Your certificate remains valid for three years. To keep your skills up to date, refresher training is recommended after this period. Achieving this certification shows your commitment to creating healthier workplaces and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health.

🎯 Boundaries, Safeguarding & After-Care

This course equips you to listen, reassure, and guide others — not to diagnose or provide therapy. You’ll gain clarity on setting safe boundaries, knowing when to involve supervisors or external professionals, and handling sensitive information appropriately. In addition, you’ll receive follow-up resources and signposting materials so you know where to access further help for yourself and others once the training is complete.
