7. Course and programme delivery timelines

7.1 Courses delivered by Instructor Members All materials for MHFA England courses should be ordered as early as possible. At the latest, you must order materials: - For online courses: at least ten working days before the course start date - For face-to-face courses: at least five working days before the course start date Any delays in ordering materials may mean that your learners do not receive the course materials in time. 7.2 Client courses delivered by Associate Instructors The Client and Community Delivery team aim for a six-to-eight-week lead time when arranging client bookings. Occasionally bookings are accepted with less notice. If this is the case, this will be communicated in the initial email sent to Associate Instructors to inform them about the course delivery opportunity. Six to eight weeks before delivery 1. Availability request - Client and Community Delivery team send Associate Instructors an email to let them know about the opportunity 2. Availability confirmation - Associate Instructors confirm their availability to work

- Occasionally an Associate Instructor may be asked to hold dates in their diary if a client has requested their availability. If this is the case, we ask the Associate Instructor to hold dates for a maximum of five working days 3. Confirmation email - Client and Community Delivery team send the Associate Instructor the course confirmation email with the course code - The Client Delivery Manager notifies the client and sends them the Associate Instructor’s public profile to highlight their experiences and skills Two weeks before delivery 1. Introduction to client - The Client and Community Delivery team introduces the Associate Instructor to the client via email - The Associate Instructor leads a pre-

course call with the client. Please refer to the pre-course information sheet provided by the Client and Community Delivery team

2. Preparation

- The Associate Instructor must familiarise themselves with the client and their work, and consider any extra information or material about the wellbeing strategy at the workplace. For example, some deliveries include an extra slide to highlight the client’s organisational pathways/ Employee Assistance Programme. This information is provided in advance
