I found with the course modules there seemed an expectation to know the answers before you had been taught anything, and feel with the first webinar there could have been a little more focus on what you actually do when approaching somebody for first aid. But both instructors were absolutely great, it was an informative course and I feel I would be confident using what I have learned in a real situation.

All in all a good course. I found the 'ALGEE' a bit repetitive but it was a catalyst to some good discussions. Confidence of the presenters will increase with time as they become more familiar with the content. Good job!

They seem to have thought of everything in terms of making it easy for us to deliver MHFA in future, very clear boundaries throughout, nice marketing and resources.

Very informative course. I learned so much and feel more confident to appropriately support young people with mental heath issues. There were technical issues with some aspects eg the videos and dragging labels into boxes which impacted on ability to complete some answers but overall very impressed.

It was fantastic to be able to do this course through the medium of Welsh under the professional and sensitive guidance of Dan and Davina. I scored the course 4 overall as I feel the course materials are a little 'dated' in their appearance, and perhaps some of the scenarios could be relevant to wider contexts where people work with young people, e.g. HE. Having all materials in Welsh would also be beneficial.

This is a very important area. As more awareness grows about mental health the course has been invaluable in allowing me to feel better equipped in dealing with some of the issues and scenarios raised and to know a little more about this complex subject.

I found the videos in the modules very helpful especially on psychosis. I personally find face to face situations more conducive to learning however I think Sally and Hannah were brilliant, patient and respectful of everyone.

Our instructor was very approachable and made the course interesting , which makes the information easier to retain. I really enjoyed the course- because of the content and the skill of the instructor.
