No, the Learner Access Pass does not apply to Teen MHFA or Youth Yarns (in development) courses, as they cater to a different audience.
The Learner Access Pass will apply to all other Instructor-led courses, including specialised courses and Refresher courses.
Can the Learner Access Pass fee be optional or “opt-in” for participants instead of being mandatory for Instructors?
No, the access pass is a required component because it funds the core systems, services, and supports that make MHFA training possible and sustainable. An optional model would leave critical infrastructure – and necessary program enhancements – underfunded.
A consistent, mandatory access pass ensures we can continue delivering high-quality training at scale, support instructors effectively, and invest in the long-term viability of the MHFAider pathway.
