TESTIMONIALS

“Thank you for all your help and the course. I don’t know if I would have got the job without this on my CV.”
Karishma, our student
“I got two job offers from the company I really want to work for! It’s St Mungo’s, the leading UK charity that supports homeless people. I will be supporting a caseload of clients and will help them set up personal goals. This Counselling course is a great tool to help me with my job. I’m over the moon!”
Ilaria Sulis, our student
“Understanding Mental Health First Aid course covered a wide range of topics related to mental health first aid, which I found very interesting. It provided resources needed for appropriate self-paced learning, giving me the flexibility and control over the process of completing the assignments, being a great way of keeping up to date on the most recent developments, research, and good practices in this matter.”
Tânia Nogueira, our student
“I thoroughly enjoyed studying the Understanding Mental Health First Aid course. It was very informative and I know that many others would benefit from it as well.”
Tayla-Estelle Davis, our student
“I found the New Challenge course useful and informative in supporting people with mental ill-health in the workplace. It made me consider the language used around mental health and the potential barriers for people in reaching out for support. It also made me consider my own mental wellbeing at work, what could potentially be triggers and stresses; and how to manage this in my day-to-day.”
Ollie Shotton, our student
“I’d been observing for some time how so many people in our society need help. I wanted to learn some practical skills, increase my knowledge around IAG and mental health, and increase my confidence levels in these areas. The time I have spent studying with New Challenge has been invaluable. I would highly recommend the courses to anyone with an interest in this field. I was assigned a personal tutor to help me through the work and was amazed at how supportive they were throughout. Thank you New Challenge for all of your help.”
Richard, our student
“I thoroughly enjoyed studying the Understanding Mental Health First Aid course with Guy. It was very informative and I know that many others would benefit from it as well. Guy was a massive help during my time spent learning the course. He was very considerate and understanding when I needed advice because I was struggling to write the assignments. Unit 2 and Unit 3 were the most interesting topics to learn about and I am looking forward to applying that knowledge to everyday life.”

“I found this course useful and informative in supporting people with mental ill-health in the workplace. It made me consider the language used around mental health and the potential barriers for people in reaching out for support. It also made me consider my own mental wellbeing at work, what could potentially be triggers and stresses; and how to manage this in my day-to-day. I would recommend this course to anyone managing or working in a team to maintain staff wellbeing and have the tools available to support those experiencing stress and potential mental ill health. Training with New Challenge is great. My chats with Guy have not only been about the course but he has also offered me invaluable advice for my own career progression. I highly recommend any training with NC.”
Ollie Shotton, our student
“I was keen to learn about mental health, mental ill health and its causes, and ways in which our mental health can be protected. The course provided a solid introduction to these subjects. More practically I learned about ways to support someone considering ending their life, and methods to ensure a healthy workplace environment. My assigned tutor was very supportive throughout my learning and I would highly recommend this New Challenge course.”
Richard, our student
I’m so excited to share my experience of the New Challenge Mental Health First Aid course. I really enjoyed it! It was incredibly interesting and made me think about the challenges we can face in our daily lives, with our family, friends and ourselves. The course helps you to spot the early signs of distress.
We were very lucky to have Guy as our coach; he really made the course a great experience for us. He was always there for us, both in and out of the classroom, and even though the course was full-time, the classes were very engaging and interactive.
I feel much more confident about putting this new knowledge into practice when dealing with people in vulnerable situations at work.
Thank you so much, New Challenge!
