If you would like to expand your knowledge about mental health, this course offered by Emagister is ideal for you.

The Mental Health Awareness - Level 2 Certificate (RQF) course is designed to be studied by a broad spectrum of health workers who would benefit from a greater understanding of Mental Health Awareness issues. It is also suitable for the personal development of experienced health workers or for those who recently entered the industry.

The course covers topics such as understanding mental health, phobias, stress, eating disorders, anxiety, postnatal depression and schizophrenia and will lead to a fully recognized RQF (Regulated Qualifications Framework) qualification in this matter. These are nationally recognized qualifications that are replacing the previous NVQ framework ratings.

Students can register at any time and have a full year to complete their studies. As the course is self-learning, you can complete at the time that is most comfortable. You also have access to a personal tutor by mail or email during the course of 12 months and our student support team is available for any further questions you may have when completing your course.
