Course Description

The course will take students from the introduction and background of mental health to more detail and in depth topic areas.
Previous Knowledge Required
No previous knowledge or experience is essential to study this course.
Support
Full 24 months tutor support.
Assessment
Final online multiple choice examination counts for 100% of the final grade. Throughout the course there are ten SAPs (coursework) and a thesis. The course clearly states that this is not mandatory to complete as it has no bearing on the final grade. We do suggest that students complete these as this will not only assist them in examination preparation but also will give the student the skill set should they wish to continue their studies (continuous professional development) at a higher level.
