What is the Level 2 children and young people's mental health course?
It is an online Level 2 certificate covering children and young people's mental health in context, risk factors, common concerns, impact and support. Learning Curve Group lists a usual duration of seven weeks. It is not a clinical therapy qualification. The provider Pre-Check confirms funding.
This qualification is for people who work with children and teenagers and need a solid understanding of mental health concepts, risk factors and impacts.
The current LCG page lists five units, from context and factors that may affect mental health through to support. It is awareness and support knowledge, not a clinical child-therapy qualification.
Learning Gateway is not the training provider. These courses are available through our training-provider network. Funding and final eligibility are confirmed by the provider.
Units and topics below are taken from the current Learning Curve Group course page.
Learning Curve Group has given UK Learning Gateway this baseline for Level 2 Flexible Learning learners. It is a starting point only — the provider's Pre-Check makes the final decision.
Final funding eligibility is determined through Learning Curve Group's Pre-Check and can vary by your circumstances, where you live, the funding route and provider availability. UK Learning Gateway does not override the provider's decision.
Availability and funding can depend on where you live. The provider's Pre-Check will confirm the options available for your postcode.
