However, it is now expected that instrucotors will follow local guidelines and the policy and proceedures held by the venue. ease note that If you are unable to prove that you are fully vaccinated (or are exempt), you will NOT be permitted to attend the course and there will be no reschedules permitted nor will refunds be granted.

To keep things simple, Rejuvenating Spiritis have decided to adopt this policy for all courses that we deliver face to face.

Relax - there is no pre-work to undertake! Everything will be provided in the sessions.

All courses will run only if there is a minimum of 6 participants.

Zoom Rooms

There is a maximum capacity of 12 participants in the MHFA Zoom rooms.

What do I need to do before I attend an online course?

Each Blended Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Online course has 2 components - e-learning and Zoom sessions. In order to progress to the Zoom sessions, it is a MHFA Australia requirement that the e-learning must be completed first. There is a time limit between starting the e-learning and undertaking the Zoom sessions which is 3 months.

The majority of all of the non - MHFA courses do not have any pre-work to under take.

There is no pre-course learning to undertake of any other courses.

Can I get a refund if I am unable to attend?

Can I claim CPD points?
Many industries will grant CPD points - best to check with your governing board.
Are you recognised by the Department of Education?

Yes, Caroline is recognsed by the Departent of Education to run Mental Health First Aid Courses. She is currently in the process of getting the other courses also recognised by the department. 

Are you NESA recognised?

Caroline did look into becoming recognised by NESA but found the process too cumbersome and would prefer to spend her time delivering courses. Therefore, she is not recognised by them. However, there is absolutely no difference in the content of the courses even if they are being delivered by a NESA recognised instructor.

I have signed up with another instructor but want to transfer to you, what do I need to do?

All MHFA instructors are accredited and licenced by MHFA Australia but are BUT employed by them. 

All Suicide Programs instructors are accredited by Calm Consulting Pty Ltd  but Caroline is NOT employed by them. 

Rejuvenating Spirits Mental Health Educational Training does not have any agreements or affiliations with any other instructors or companies, therefore it is not simply a matter of transferring from one instructor to another regardless of the course being offered. You would need to withdraw from the other instructors' course and would be required to pay for the one run by us.
