How do Mind's eLearning courses work?
If you're a manager or employee, eLearning is a great way to improve your understanding and knowledge of mental health.
Our eLearning courses are CPD accredited. This means they've reached the Continuing Professional Development standards and benchmarks. Both our courses are available in English and Welsh.
Our eLearning courses are hosted on a Learning Management System (LMS). Organisations without an LMS can still access our courses.
If you have an LMS, we sell licenses so you can host the course on your own system. The cost of this depends on:
- The size of your organisation's learning audience
- The sector you work in
Once we've agreed licences, we'll transfer all the relevant files to you. We'll support you to upload them to your LMS.
How much does eLearning cost?
Prices start from £3,500 plus VAT (for organisations between 10 and 49 employees). For our full price list, check our marketplace. We have subsidised rates for statutory bodies and registered charities.
