❓ Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re considering becoming a certified Mental Health First Aider, these are the most common questions people ask before booking. If your question isn’t listed, feel free to contact me directly — I’m here to help.
What is a Mental Health First Aid course?
A Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course equips you with the skills to recognise signs of mental ill health, provide initial support, and guide someone towards appropriate help. It’s designed for everyone, regardless of prior experience, to foster understanding and reduce stigma around mental health.
Who is this training for?
This training is for anyone interested in supporting others’ mental wellbeing. Whether you’re a manager, teacher, parent, or community member, MHFA courses are designed to be inclusive and accessible, requiring no prior mental health knowledge.
Do I need to attend the entire course to get certified?
Yes, full attendance is required to receive your MHFAider® certificate. Each session builds upon the last, ensuring you gain a comprehensive understanding of the material.
How long is the certification valid, and do I need to renew it?
Your MHFAider® certification is valid for three years. It’s recommended to attend a refresher course within this period to update your skills and knowledge.
How much does the course cost?
Course prices vary depending on the provider and location, typically ranging from £125 to £425. Discounts may be available, especially for group bookings.
What is the minimum age to take the MHFA course?
You must be 16 or over to attend an Adult Mental Health First Aid course. The content covers sensitive topics and is designed for mature learners ready to engage with real-life mental health challenges.
Is MHFA a qualification?
MHFA certifies you as a Mental Health First Aider (MHFAider®), valid for 3 years. It’s a nationally recognised certification, but not a formal qualification like a diploma or degree.
Can I get a formal qualification after this course?
Yes. After completing MHFA training, you can sit the optional RSPH Level 3 Award in Mental Health First Aid—a regulated qualification from the Royal Society for Public Health, recognised across the UK.
Will this course be emotionally triggering or heavy?
The course covers sensitive topics like suicide, self-harm, and trauma in a safe, supportive environment. You’ll never be forced to share personal experiences, and we encourage self-care throughout. Let us know if you need extra support.
I’ve seen cheaper or free mental health courses online. Why is this one more expensive?
This is live, interactive training led by an MHFA England–accredited instructor. You get certified for 3 years, join the national MHFAider® community, receive expert tools, ongoing support, and access to the exclusive MHFAider Support App®.
How does this compare to St. John Ambulance or Red Cross?
MHFA England sets the UK standard. You’ll get proven content, support via the MHFAider® App, and join the Association of Mental Health First Aiders—the first national network for ongoing community, content, and resources.
Is it a legal requirement to have Mental Health First Aiders?
Not currently—but under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, employers must assess health risks and should consider mental health. MHFAiders® help meet this duty of care and align with best practice under the Equality Act 2010.
