MHFA Wales Instructor Training Reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed the training and cannot recommend it enough, regardless of your prior knowledge regarding mental health and/or your work place and experience. Gwen and Rhys remained incredibly professional throughout without portraying as intimidating - no question or opinion felt 'stupid' or wrong. That said, they weren't afraid to challenge and direct participants in the correct way, when needed. However, they never made me feel incompetent in any way - they made me feel confident in my knowledge and going forward as both a MHFAider and instructor.

An enjoyable experience, informative, interactive, and an opportunity to meet individuals outside of my organisation. The co-delivery was successful and both instructors worked well together, the content wasn't complicated and presented systematically flowing from one topic to the next.

Excellent overall, looking forward to the delivery, and really helpful to know that there continues to be support from Gwen and Rhys if needed.

BRILLIANT training. Really enjoyable, learnt lots and was really lucky to be in such an engaging, fun and interesting group. Gwen and Rhys helped me feel at ease and made everything really interesting.

The training was fantastic! Always a long week online but was made easier by how enjoyable the sessions were and how friendly everyone was. Looking forward to getting started as an instructor

Thank you for helping us all through the course. You were right, it could have been really dry and heavy but it wasn't. It was fab, thank you very much.

Really enjoyed the Instructor Training. I was looking forward to it but did feel a little apprehensive and was (a little bit) dreading the assessment - Gwen and Rhys made me feel so comfortable though and gave plenty of reassurance throughout the week. I actually ended up really enjoying the assessment bit even though online delivery tends to fall outside my comfort zone at the best of times. I really loved the rapport between Gwen and Rhys and the banter added lots of fun and laughs throughout the week, it really did feel like we were amongst friends :) I would 100% recommend this course to anyone who is interested in becoming an MHFA Instructor

Thank you so much, it's been valuable, you were great instructors and I can't wait to get started with my instructor hat on!

Thanks for such a fantastic course.

I would recommend this course to anyone and to any organisation. It is relevant to all employers and it's great to know that MH awareness and support should be a prominent feature of day-to-day working. Also, it is relevant in our own lives and I will use the knowledge and skills gained in all areas of my life.
