Mental Health at Work

The QNUK Level 2 Award in Mental Health at Work (RQF) is the ideal introduction to understanding mental health in the workplace. The qualification covers the most common mental health conditions, how to identify potential mental health concerns in colleagues and then how to discuss their needs and assist them to access suitable services and support.

This qualification is aimed at employees. With an increase in poor mental health it is important that individuals understand their own mental health and how common mental health concerns can be identified in themselves and others; with strategies to reduce the risk. This qualification will give learners personal growth and engagement in learning.

This course is regulated by QNUK, one of the most recognised Awarding Bodies within the first aid sector. By undertaking regulated training, this removes the need for employers to complete due diligence on the course.

Be aware of common mental health disorders
Know how to recognise the causes and impact of stress
Know how to recognise the causes and impact of common mental health conditions
Understand how individuals may use harmful strategies to cope with a mental health disorder
Know how to support an individual with a mental health issue

Learners are assessed for this qualification using the following methods:

• Multiple choice examination.

Learners will need to achieve a mark of 70% or more in an examination taken at the end of the course. This is a multiple choice exam of 24 questions of which a minimum of 17 must be answered correctly.

On completion of the theory element, a certificate is issued which is valid for 3 years.

In October 2013, the way in which first aid courses were approved changed. This means that employers are now legally responsible for completing due diligence on any training provider they use.

There are two routes to doing this:

Regulated Training
Choosing a training provider who offers Ofqual certification on their courses. The HSE state that you do not need to go through their checklist as the training provider offers Ofqual regulated qualifications and thus the training provider has already completed the due diligence for you.

Non Regulated Training
It is the legal responsibility of the employer to carry out due diligence on the training company, the trainer and the course. Click here to see the HSE’s checklist
