I took the Mental Health First Aid and Self-Harm & Suicide Prevention courses in 2023 for personal development. They were both really interesting, challenging and thought provoking. Being able to study along side others, in college, was excellent. The teaching and discussions with the lecturer and other students were invaluable.
It was great to be able to complete the assessments in my own time, at my own pace. Having the study books meant I was able to go back over content we'd covered in class, and there were lots of opportunities to delve into interesting aspects more deeply if I wanted to. My lecturer was on hand if I needed any help and provided excellent feedback on each of the units as I completed them, enabling me to improve each time. I'm looking forward to completing my next course in 2024.
