Course Outline
A few weeks prior to the start of the course, all participants will receive an invitation to apply for the course so that they can complete the short online application. Instructions will be sent out from MHFAHostSites@thenationalcouncil.org regarding this process.
Prior to the first day of the instructor-led training, participants must complete two hours of online, self-paced pre-work. This will be available to the participants on their MHFA Connect dashboard, and access is granted once the participant completes the application.
Two National Trainers will lead an interactive course in real time over three consecutive days:
- Day 1 – Unpacking the course, questions and answers
- Day 2 – Coaching by appointment (30 minutes), independent prep for presentation, teaching strategies.
- Day 3 – Candidates present an assigned section of the course, review one-on-one feedback from the trainer, view other candidate presentations, and graduate.
Upon completing the 3 days of live instruction, Instructors must complete 2 hours of self-paced post-work to learn how to use MHFA Connect to schedule their first aider courses.
