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.

These are nationally recognized qualifications that are replacing the previous NVQ framework ratings.
