Mental Health First Aid

We are now able to offer Accredited or none accredited First Aid for Mental Health.
We chose to go down the accredited route as we believe this offers better support for our clients as it means due diligence is carried out on ourselves, by the means of internal quality assurance and external quality assurance by NUCO awards. 

Would you employ a teacher with my recognised university degree? So why would you train for a certificate that is accredited ?

We can now deliver…
