Annie was lovely throughout the course. Mandy the lady that joined her on course was also great – both very knowledgeable on subject and full of empathy for offers of experiences within the training session.
Can’t wait to complete more courses through Loates – thanks again.

I attended a mental health one day course, Annie our trainer was amazing from when I got there guiding me into a car park place in the rain, the building and office was beautiful the course was delivered in such a great informative way and I learnt so much to take back to my workplace, plenty of drinks and snacks offered, lunch was really nice and the day went so quick.
Thank you Annie and the team for such a lovely day.

Quality Assurance Manager
This course was offered by Loates Management Training and I’m very glad I booked onto it.
This course is a must for those that feel they are afraid to approach and offer support to a person with a mental health issue for fear of ‘getting it wrong’.
The course builds on your strength as a listener and teaches skills to support and help those around you whether at work or at home or even yourself when you are struggling with every day problems and pressures.
Amanda Bryant
HR Manager
From the initial query regarding this course to its delivery, I couldn’t fault anything. The pre-course information and joining instructions were given in good time and everyone from Loates was friendly, professional and made you warm to them immediately. The course itself was fantastic, the manual and workbook will be used for years to come as it has so much information in it and will become my reference guide for a lot of things. The trainer was brilliant and put everyone at ease for what could potentially be a harrowing course and the attendee interaction was excellent too. Would highly recommend this course and Loates Management Training in future
Elise Larkin
Office Manager
Great two days training, sessions interactive and led by knowledgeable trainers. Interaction with the attendees and support offered very good and would highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to offer Mental Health First Aid support in their organisation
Zena Barratt
Lead Nurse
A fantastic refresher session for Mental Health First Aiders.
A brilliant trainer, who listened and allowed for all kinds of experience to support the course.
I would recommend MHFA training for anyone, and Loates were brilliant.
Amelia Sutcliffe
Executive Assistant
I recently did the online MHFA course and it was fantastic, leaving me feeling confident in helping support others and gain a good understanding of all the behaviours and symptoms of different types of mental health conditions.
Some of the subjects were quite hard to listen to but Tayla and Annie constantly assured us we could take a break and checked in with us to make sure we were ok, reminding us how important it is to take care of ourselves too.
This approach made us feel like we were in ‘safe place’ to discuss these subjects and had support in a warm learning environment with a bit of fun mixed in!
The structure of the learning was perfect as we had a mix of listening to the instructor, watch videos and do interactive work in small groups.
I felt like I learnt so much and having the chance to practice conversations made me feel much more confident in turning the theory into practice.
I would highly recommend them to everyone!
