Mental health is now recognised as a core part of workplace health and safety. Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, employers have a duty of care to protect the mental as well as the physical wellbeing of their employees. At Office Test, we offer a range of QNUK-accredited Mental Health Training courses designed to help your organisation build awareness, reduce stigma and create a supportive working environment.
From a half-day introduction to awareness, through to a two-day qualification for designated Mental Health First Aiders, our courses are tailored to suit the needs of your organisation — whether you want to give your whole team a foundational understanding or train specific individuals to provide structured support to colleagues.
Our mental health training is designed to be engaging, practical and sensitive, ensuring your employees feel confident in recognising and responding to mental health concerns in the workplace. We offer three accredited levels:
All courses can be delivered at your site or at our dedicated training centre in London, offering flexibility and convenience. Led by experienced, DBS-checked trainers, our courses ensure employees leave with the knowledge and confidence to support mental wellbeing in the workplace.

Mental Health Training equips your staff with the knowledge and skills to recognise the signs of poor mental health, respond appropriately and support colleagues who may be struggling. Depending on the level, training can range from basic awareness for all employees through to a structured qualification for designated Mental Health First Aiders who provide initial support and signpost colleagues to professional help.
Mental ill health is one of the leading causes of sickness absence in the UK, and employers have a legal duty of care to protect the mental wellbeing of their staff under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. Investing in mental health training helps reduce absence, improve productivity and morale, lower stigma, and create an open, supportive culture. It also demonstrates that your organisation takes employee wellbeing seriously.
All organisations can benefit from mental health training, though the appropriate level depends on the role:
To keep skills current and confidence high, we recommend refresher training every three years, in line with best practice for first aid qualifications. Annual updates or briefings are also good practice to keep employees aware of the latest guidance and to reinforce a positive mental health culture.
