Distance Learning - Understanding Mental Health Certificate L3 (22/23)

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.

This new level 3 offering is ideal for learners progressing from our level 2 Awareness of Mental Health distance learning course. It leads on from all of the basics of the L2 course and is ideal for learners wishing to add enhanced knowledge to their CV, or for their professional development.

Applicants will be asked to write a short personal statement as part of the admissions process. This will set out their motivations for applying and what they hope to get out of completing the course. Applicants must have achived at least a level 2 in a related subject. Applicants must have a robust standard of literacy on par with a grade 4/C or above in English at GCSE level, or an equivalent qualification. This needs to be declared on the application form to assist with admissions decisions. Applicants who cannot provide proof of grades may be asked to sit an online literacy test.

All learning and assessment takes place on the new learning platform E-Assessor Pro. Learners are paid with a qualified assessor with detailed experience of the subject in both academic and applied contexts. Learners must be willing to study independently.
