Questions
How long will the course take?
The course takes 1 day. We'll confirm timings when we arrange your booking.
Can you train on our site?
Yes, if your site is suitable for the training and assessments. We'll check the details with you before confirming.
Who is this for?
Supervisors, managers and anyone who wants to support colleagues. Construction has a high rate of mental ill health, so many firms now train mental health first aiders alongside physical first aiders.

We'll contact you, usually within one working day, to confirm dates, the right course option and the price.
