Leading on from our level 2 Mental Health Awareness course this level 3 will take learners’ understanding to a higher level. Learners will be learning about further issues and consequences resulting from mental health problems; promoting positive mental health and working in mental health related settings. We would recommend this course to learners who have already studied a level 2 mental health course and are interested in working in health and social care, or as additional training for qualified counsellors, teachers, youth workers or charity workers.
Learners start and complete our distance learning courses every day, all year, so there is no need to wait until term begins. The courses are designed to be ready when you are, so you can fit it into your schedule.
Study takes place in an online virtual learning environment (VLE) which allows convenient and flexible learning. We recommend spending 6-8 hours studying per week to ensure that you meet your assignment deadlines.
Learners are paired with an experienced assessor and they submit work and are assessed online using the virtual learning environment e-Assessor Pro. Learners are given detailed feedback on their work by their assessors. Any reasonable adjustments to assessment arrangements are made on a person-by-person basis.
Our distance learning courses are planned to meet both local and national skills needs. These courses are ideal as additional development for professionals, or as introductions to topics and issues which are relevant to finding work or further training. Distance learning students are able to access careers advice via the college’s Student Services team. several of our courses complement each other and learners are able to study up to three courses each academic year (1st August-31st July).
Distance learning relies on communication between you and the college. We appreciate that learners with busy lives might face challenges in keeping up with their courses. All we ask is that learners stay in touch with us. Learners who don't risk being withdrawn from their courses.
Unlike our L2 distance learning courses, enrolment for L3 does incur a cost. Some learners are eligible for full funding to cover this cost as part of HM Government's Free Courses for Jobs scheme. Eligibility for this is nuanced so we will use the information you provide when completing application and enrolment paperwork to advise you.
In addition to this, the course is also elgible for Student Finance England's Advanced Learner Loan. Applicants who wish to apply for the loan must declare it on their application and enrolment form. Otherwise we will assume that applicants ineligible for full funding will be paying the enrolment fee themselves.
