London is by far the UK’s largest market for mental health first aid training — open courses run every week across the capital, and every major provider and hundreds of independent instructors deliver here.

Whether you're an employer appointing Mental Health First Aiders, a manager booking training for your team, or an individual wanting the skills for yourself, we'll help you compare the options in London — course types, formats and typical prices — and connect you with an accredited trainer locally. If dates don't line up, our live online courses carry the same certification and run regularly.
