At LASER we transform peoples’ lives by the recognition of their learning and achievement. We are an awarding body regulated by Ofqual and licensed by QAA.
Although our Understanding Mental Health e-learning short course is not an Ofqual-regulated qualification and does not result in a qualification certificate, we think that understanding and promoting good mental health is so important, especially as Mental Health Week falls this month, that we’ve chosen this short FREE course to feature as our (Not a) Qualification Focus this month.
What is Covered During the E-Learning Course?
The course covers:
- The meaning of mental health
- Factors that contribute to mental health
- Different forms of mental illness
- Treatment for mental illness
It is relevant to thinking about your own mental health as well as helping you to support other people.
Is There an Assessment?
As you work through the course, there are several exercises and tests to help you progress your learning. These are not assessed in a formal way and are included to help you understand and use correctly the key mental health concepts.
There is no formal assessment as it is not a regulated qualification.
How Much Does It Cost?
LASER is proud to provide this important e-learning course completely free of charge for anyone who wants to take it!
How Long Does the Course Take to Complete?
The course takes approximately 90 minutes to complete, although you can work through it at whatever pace you like, and repeat anything you’d like to, or take breaks and come back to it.
