The MHFA England Instructor Training Programme enables you to deliver our MHFA or Youth MHFA course. Once you become an Instructor Member, you can attend upskill courses to add additional MHFA England courses to your portfolio. There is a cost involved with this.
You can also apply for extension training to deliver another MHFAider® course.
If you're already an MHFA England Youth Instructor Member and want to add the MHFA course to your delivery portfolio, you will need to apply for and complete the MHFA England Instructor Training Programme. You will then need to complete co-deliveries and receive good feedback to deliver the course.

If you're already an MHFA Instructor Member in another country or another region of the UK and would like to deliver MHFA courses in England, please email training@mhfaengland.org

Our upskill opportunities are designed to help you develop your skills as an Instructor Member.
Our three hour upskill courses will prepare you to deliver MHFA Refresher, Mental Health Champion or Mental Health Aware courses, in the same product area as the Mental Health First Aider course you are approved to deliver (MHFA or Youth). Adding these additional courses to your portfolio enables you to reach a wider audience and increase mental health awareness further.
You must complete your upskill course before organising any deliveries of the new course. Upskills require a minimum number of attendees to be viable, and so may be subject to cancellations or postponement
Upskill courses cost between £240 and £290 (inc VAT) depending on the product you are upskilling in. To view the upskill courses currently available and reserve your place, log into your Instructor Member dashboard and go to the CPD Upskills section.
For booking enquiries about upskills or extension training please email upskill@mhfaengland.org. Please check the MHFA England Instructor Training Programme FAQs before getting in touch in case your query is answered there.
