Quick answer

What is the Level 2 self-harm and suicide awareness course?

It is an online Level 2 Certificate in Self-Harm and Suicide Awareness and Prevention, accredited by TQUK. Four units cover awareness, prevention, recognising signs and grief after suicide. Duration is not stated on the current LCG page. Funding may be available to eligible adults via the provider Pre-Check.

Course overview

This qualification develops knowledge of suicide and self-harm so learners can better understand and support people around them. It is awareness and prevention knowledge, not a clinical or crisis-response licence.

Unlike most other courses in this catalogue, Learning Curve Group currently accredits this one through TQUK rather than NCFE CACHE.

The live LCG page does not state a course duration.

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.

  • Introduction to Suicide and Self-Harm Awareness

Funding and eligibility

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.

  • You are aged 19 or over
  • You are resident in the UK and can provide evidence of this
  • You are not resident on a Skilled Worker or other sponsored visa — Learning Curve Group does not accept learners on those visas under this route
  • You are not currently on an apprenticeship

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.

Progression and related study

  • LCG lists counsellor, youth worker and family support worker as example role areas. This certificate alone does not make you a counsellor.
  • Related options include Counselling Skills and Awareness of Mental Health Problems.

No course can guarantee a job. Role examples come from the provider's current course page and are context only.
