In 2022, all attendees at face-to-face Mental Health First Aid® Instructor Training Courses will need to be fully vaccinated. Courses will proceed in locations where current public health advice indicates course delivery is permitted with COVID-safe adjustments and where delivery is not impacted by travel restrictions and border closures.
Priority placements in 2022 are being facilitated for waitlisted course participants impacted from course cancellations due to lockdowns in 2021. Once waitlisted participants are confirmed, MHFA™ courses with additional vacancies will be made publicly available for new course applicants. These placements are expected to be limited in the first half of the year. Please check our Instructor Course Training calendar for the latest information regarding the status of individual Instructor Training Courses and any current vacancies available for new course applicants.
