Funded Qualifications
Many employers look for qualifications from candidates that set them apart, and having a qualification in mental health awareness shows a potential employer that the candidate understands the principals of maintaining health and wellbeing.
The RQF component ‘Mental Health and Wellbeing: Fundamentals’ is approved by the AEB for funding as a standalone qualification which receives enhanced funding (£112) and an Ofqual component certificate.
Additionally, this component can be included in the AIMVOC L1 Skills for Working in Health, Lifestyle and Science Industries qualification.
