About this course

Free Level 1 Mental Health Awareness Course in Liverpool. Classes run at 3D Training. You'll build a solid grounding in mental health, covering key conditions, how they affect people, and how to respond with understanding. No formal entry requirements, so you can start without any previous qualifications in the subject. The course takes around 2 months with flexible daytime mental health awareness classes. It suits people working in, or moving toward, roles in health, education, social care, or public services.

Who this course is for

This short course is for you if you need or would like to know more about mental health, perhaps for a current job role or because you are aiming to work in a public service, health, education or social care role in the future. It's particularly suitable if you have already achieved a Level 1 qualification in a related area such as health and social care. It's a knowledge-based qualification so you don't need to be working in mental health to achieve it.

Entry requirements

There are no formal entry requirements.

What you will learn

  • You'll understand what mental health means and why it matters.
  • You'll recognise common mental health conditions and their effects on daily life.
  • You'll explore the factors that influence a person's mental health.
  • You'll learn how stigma affects people with mental health conditions.
  • You'll identify ways to support someone experiencing mental health difficulties.
  • You'll understand where people can go for help and what services exist.

How you will learn

You'll study in a classroom at 3D Training, with flexible daytime attendance over around 2 months. Assessment is knowledge-based, so there's no practical placement required. You'll be assessed through written tasks or short-answer questions that test your understanding of mental health topics covered during the course.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. 3D Training will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Support worker: assist people with mental health needs day to day.
  • Care assistant: provide personal and emotional support in care settings.
  • Teaching assistant: support pupils with social, emotional, or mental health needs.

  • Mental health first aider: act as a first point of contact in a workplace or school.

What you could study next

A Level 1 mental health awareness qualification is a strong starting point. From here, you could move on to a Level 2 Award or Certificate in Mental Health, which goes deeper into conditions, care approaches, and support strategies. If you're heading into health and social care work, a Level 2 or Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care would complement this and open doors to more senior roles.
