Barbara asked:

Although virtual can you tell me the start and end times and what dates are available please. Also is there a valid for timescale i.e. 3 years

Answer:

HI there - the MHFA virtual course is run differently from the 2 day open course as there is an element of self study. The next available date is Tuesday 6th July and Thursday 8th July both 9am - 5pm If you prefer to attend an open course we have a number running across the country - let me know your location and I can check this for you and you can see these on our website. There is no expiry date for the MHFA certificate although MHFA do recommend a 3 year refresher Cheers Erty

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
