The Blended Online Courses consists of two Course Components :
Course Component 1 is self-paced eLearning. Course participants are provided with voucher with a link that allows them to access the Mental Health First Aid® Australia (MHFA™) eLearning platform which provides them with a PDF version of the Standard Mental Health First Aid Manual as well as a guided online learning experience through the material. The eLearning Course Component consists of interactive notes, quizzes and films. Participants are able to log on and off and complete the course at their own pace. It takes participants approximately 6-8 hours to complete the online eLearning Course Component.
This is followed by Course Component 2 consisting of 2 x 2.5 hour Instructor-led video conferencing sessions. Course Component 2 of each Blended Course includes a review of the eLearning content learnt in Course Component 1 followed by activities, scenarios, more in depth discussion and practice conversations with course participants.
