Course completion

Certificate and learner materials

A digital MHFAider certificate and another three years of certification and Association membership. This renews existing Adult MHFA training; it is not an initial MHFA course.

MHFA England lists a digital manual and workbook. The separate RSPH Level 3 Award is an additional qualification pathway, not automatically included with attendance.

Training gives you tools for initial support, not a clinical qualification or a substitute for professional care. Managers also need clear boundaries and appropriate workplace support pathways.
