How to apply

The Course

Individuals who work with people with mental health problems need to understand each condition fully. Likewise, anyone who has seen someone experience mental health problems would benefit from understanding the meaning, causes, effects, symptoms and management of mental health conditions. This nationally recognised qualification covers all of these aspects and is the perfect place to start if you wish to increase your awareness of mental health problems.

This course should take approximately six to nine months to complete. There are 13 mandatory units in this qualification:

  • Understanding mental health
  • Understanding stress
  • Understanding anxiety
  • Understanding phobias
  • Understanding depression
  • Understanding post-natal depression
  • Understanding bipolar disorder
  • Understanding schizophrenia
  • Understanding dementia
  • Understanding eating disorders
  • Understanding attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Understanding obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Understanding post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

This is a remote learning course which will be assessed via a portfolio of evidence.

Flexible start dates and study options apply to this course.
