Course Overview
This regulated one-day training course offers a nationally recognised Level 2 FAA Award and Qualification. The course covers the content of the Level 1 course but also expands on the effects of drugs and alcohol, incorporates the First Aid for Mental Health Action Plan and covers ways in which a positive mental health culture can be supported within a workplace.
