Prices for mental health training for workplace teams vary. By understanding what determines the prices of mental health training courses for teams, you can ensure you are buying the right course for your money and not just going for the lowest price.
Typical Prices by Course Type
Typical price range for typical courses are: Half day Mental Health Awareness sessions start from around £300 for a group up to £600 for a group. Full 2 day Mental Health First Aid (MFHA) sessions are typically priced from around £1,200 for a group up to £1,800 or more. Price increases with length of course and formality of award.
How Group Size Affects Cost Per Head
The cost of training for a team is generally quoted as a flat rate for a day’s training, with the cost per person decreasing with the number of people on the course. Thus a half day session booked for 10 people would cost each person £50, whereas a session booked for 20 people would cost each person £25. It is generally best to book a half day session as a full team rather than sending individuals to open courses.
What May or May Not Be Included
Check whether materials, certificates etc are included in the quoted price for the course or whether these are charged as extras by the supplier. Similarly, some suppliers will list refresher sessions as an additional service, whereas others may include these in the initial course price. Ensure that you are purchasing a course that will continue to meet your requirements after the initial training session has taken place.
Comparing Value, Not Just Price
There are employer responsibilities for workplace mental health. A workplace mental health training course for your workplace team has a duty of care that extends beyond a single one off training session that can be seen as a tick-box exercise. Look for a course with good aftercare, proper certification and a qualified trainer. Yes, it may cost more initially but it will be more effective in the long run and will provide evidence of your due diligence if required.
