Training course to become a certified psychological first aider in companies

Special attention is paid to the practical applicability of the course content in companies. The aim is for you to acquire in-depth knowledge about mental health and mental illness and their impact on the working environment. You will expand your ability to act and communicate and will be able to provide professional support and confident guidance to those affected after the course.

After completing the course and passing the exam, you will be a "certified psychological first aider" with a Haufe Akademie.

For the compulsory seminar "Psychological first aid in the company", you can choose whether you want to attend the training event in person or online. The optional webinars take place online.

We recommend attending the modules within a maximum of two years. 

No, it is an "open course", i.e. the seminars include both course participants and people who only attend one of the seminars, for example. This ensures maximum flexibility so that every can decide for themselves whether to attend the entire course or just individual seminars or webinars. 

We recommend that you first attend the compulsory module "Psychological first aid in the company". The content of the elective webinars builds on this. The elective modules and the order in which you attend them are not important and can be chosen at your own discretion.

If individual seminars have already been attended and the decision to complete the course is only made subsequently, it is possible to have the seminars already attended (within two years) credited towards the course. The prerequisite is that the seminars already attended are a compulsory or optional part of the course. 

The exam consists of a 20-minute case discussion. The examination will test the extent to which you as a graduate are able to apply what you have learned using a specific case study. You will receive the case study at the examination date and present your solution to the examiner. This will be followed by a short question and discussion session.

If you are ill, you can withdraw from the exam and register for a new date. If you fail the exam, you can of course retake it. In the latter case, the examination fee must be paid again.
