Hi,
I see you have a 2 day MHFA training course running in Oban on 19-20 Feb 2026 and also one in Bute on 30th April-1st May 2026. Are there still any spaces available on these 2 courses, please?
Hi Theresa,
That post was from August 2024 and the courses ran from September 2024 to March 2025. These weren’t delivered by us, we just helped promote them, so I’d recommend contacting [email protected] for any information on similar upcoming courses.
