Additional accreditation courses Instructor Members can gain accreditation to deliver the Aware, Champion, or Refresher course in the same product family as the Mental Health First Aid course they deliver by applying for and successfully completing the relevant Instructor Training course. Extension training Instructor Members can also qualify to deliver another Mental Health First Aid product (for example, if they currently deliver MHFA ® and wish to add Youth MHFA to their range), by applying for and successfully completing extension training. Instructor Members After sign-off, Instructor-Members-In- Training become approved Instructor Members. This means they are granted the right to deliver the Mental Health First Aid course. Their role is to deliver high quality mental health learning experiences on behalf of MHFA England. Instructor Members may be in-house (employed and delivering MHFA England products within their organisation), or independent (self-employed and delivering MHFA England products to their own clients). See the full role expectations for Instructor Members here.
If successful, they are accepted onto an MHFA England Instructor Training programme cohort and become Instructor-Members-In-Training. Instructor-Members-In-Training are guided through their training by two National Trainers, one of whom is assigned as their mentor. During the programme, Instructor-Members- In-Training are assessed against the Instructor Member role expectations. Any candidate who has not met the expectations will be unable to continue their journey with us. England Instructor Member will complete an application form detailing how their knowledge, skills and experience meet the application assessment criteria. Those who progress from the delivered sessions of the MHFA England Instructor Training Programme must co-deliver a minimum of two Mental Health First Aid courses, and provide a self-reflective record documenting their development, as well as a full set of learner evaluations to their mentor. They will then be required to deliver a Mental Health First Aid course solo and provide a self-reflective record of the delivery and a full set of learner evaluations to their mentor. Their mentor will assess whether the Instructor-Member-In- Training has met the quality standards of the Instructor Member role expectations.
If successful, the Instructor-Member-In- Training is signed off as an Instructor Member to deliver the Mental Health First Aid course.
