About This Course
The NCFE CACHE Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Mental Health First Aid and Mental Health Advocacy in the Workplace is for anyone who wants to support colleagues and promote positive mental health at work.
You will learn what mental health and mental ill health mean, how to support someone who is struggling, where the limits of your own role lie, and what makes a workplace mentally healthy.
This is a knowledge qualification. It builds your understanding of the principles of mental health first aid and advocacy and how to apply them at work. It does not certify you as a workplace mental health first aider.
The course is regulated by Ofqual and is studied from home, with no exams and no work placement.

Assessment
This course is assessed using a series of assignments that are designed to test your knowledge of the course materials. You’ll access your learning materials and submit your work online using our learner management system. Your expert assessor will mark your work and guide you throughout the programme.
Your course assessor marks your work for all three units, so nothing is assessed in a workplace. You will build a portfolio of evidence, which NCFE then quality assures. There are no exams. The qualification is graded pass or fail.

Awarding Body
Upon completing your course, you will receive a certificate from NCFE, a respected educational charity with over 170 years’ experience.
Enrolment in an NCFE CACHE course grants you two years’ access to the NCFE CACHE Alumni network and its resources.
Support
Our personal tutors will support and mentor you throughout your studies, alongside a comprehensive study guide and course materials. With twelve months of tutor support, you have the flexibility to complete the course at your own pace, taking the full twelve months if needed.

Please note that this course is available to pre-order. Your place is reserved when you enrol, and your studies begin once all places on the cohort have been filled. Your twelve months of tutor support runs from that start date, not from the date you enrol.
