How much does a mental health training course cost? The cost of a mental health training course can vary depending on many factors so it’s good to have an understanding of these before you book.
Course Type and Accreditation Level
A simple mental health awareness session can cost as little as £20-£50+VAT per person for a half-day session, whereas a full Mental Health First Aid qualification can range from £150+VAT per head for a 2-day course up to £300+VAT per head for a longer, more in-depth qualification.
Group Size and Per-Head Pricing
Most providers reduce their per-person rate when booking 8 or more people. Therefore it is worth asking for a group quote rather than booking individual places.
In-House Versus Public Courses
Coming to your premises in Milton Keynes to deliver a training program is generally cost-effective for groups of ten people or more. For smaller groups or individuals a public scheduled training program would be more cost effective as it is listed on a specific date and time for which you can attend.
Half-Day, Full-Day, or Multi-Day Formats
A half day awareness session typically costs around £150 to £250 + VAT for the whole group, whereas a full 2 day MHFA course can cost more but covers so much more. Don’t just book the longest course though, book what you need!
Certificates and CPD Credits
Some training providers may charge extra for issuing a CPD certificate. Check beforehand whether this is included in the cost.
