Understanding the Astutis Mental Health and Workplace Safety Course

October 2023


On 27 September 2023, Astutis launched the Astutis Mental Health and Workplace Safety course. 

The course offers guidance on an often overlooked and untapped opportunity to enhance workplace safety by harnessing positive mental health. 

Workplace safety and mental health expert Dr Tim Marsh shaped and headlines the course. Tim serves up over 25 years of research and expert understanding in a concentrated training programme that should take no longer than six hours to complete. 

The course is structured into five core modules;

  1. Module 1: The impact of mental health on health
  2. Module 2: What is mental health
  3. Module 3: Supporting Struggling Workers
  4. Module 4: Creating a positive culture
  5. Module 5: Looking after yourself 

Each module concludes with formative learning checks at the end of each module to ensure learners understand each module before moving on. This means no cumulative assessment awaits learners at the end of the course. 

Why should you enrol staff on the course?

The Astutis Mental Health and Workplace Safety course is primed for organisations who want a more informed and educated workforce on the impact of mental health on workplace safety. Dr Tim Marsh offers industry-leading expertise on the best ways to positively influence mental health and how to utilise that change for good in the workplace. 

The Astutis Mental Health and Workplace Safety course gives incredible organisational benefits, such as;

  • Increased presenteeism, fewer sick days and higher production.

  • "The tutor was excellent, and the course was designed so that the information was easy to digest and understand through real-life scenarios. The problem-based learning approach and active participation in classroom discussions and homework exercises helped me pass the exam on my first attempt."

    01.04.2025
  • "The two weeks of comprehensive in-class training, coupled with the gaps between the exams, provided ample time for preparation and reflection on what I learned in the classroom. NG2 was very interesting, and the classroom exercises helped me grasp the theme of assessment, specifically how (RMs) were assessed."

    01.04.2025
  • "The online learning portal was easy and straight forward to use, it was well laid out and had fantastic online resource sections which were great for printing out to have to hand - especially handy for highlighting important points. I had purchased the NEBOSH Managing Health and Safety book to help with my study, but in all honesty, the information in the portal covered all the relevant material anyway. I only needed to phone for assistance on a couple of occasions, but found the guidance helpful and quick."

  • "Having a secondary role at work as a Health and Safety coordinator means passing the NEBOSH General Certificate is a great indication of the knowledge and understanding I have achieved so far. This is a staple qualification in this field and I now have the confidence to venture into Health and Safety in a more primary role and as a progression of career."
