This short course is an ideal introduction to anyone wishing to become a Wellbeing Champion in an organisation.
It does not qualify you as a ‘wellbeing expert’ but gives you a practical insight in to the role of a Wellbeing Champion.
Before completing this course you are strongly advised to take at least one of the other courses from the Resilience and Wellbeing list (Developing Mental Strength, Change and Resilience, Managing Stress and Anxiety etc).
In the process of becoming a wellbeing champion you will inevitably improve your own wellbeing and, in some ways, become a role model for others.
You will cover:
The role of a Wellbeing Champion
The requirements of the role
The Dos and Don’ts associated with the role of Wellbeing Champion
The course materials and knowledge test for this course are provided online so students will need internet access and IT equipment to complete the course.

“To advance my career I had the choice of a PDA or to go down the degree route and I knew from the outset that my learning style was better suited to the PDA option.”
“I started out as the lunch lady at one nursery and now I am the Manager of Peek-a-Boo nursery. I would definitely recommend an apprenticeship – I would do it again.”
“I found studying at Fraserburgh campus very enjoyable, the staff motivated me to work hard and there were always plenty of opportunities to expand my learning and knowledge. When I first left school I had no confidence and doubted my abilities, NESCol changed that. “
“I had the life experience but not the right professional qualifications. To open the door to the big opportunities as an Early Years Practitioner I knew had to gain HNC Childhood Practice and then a degree – that’s when I applied to College.”
“I’ve really enjoyed everything about the course. I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I first started because it had been a long time since I had been in education, but since coming back to College I’ve really enjoyed learning all of the subjects – even the ones that are more difficult.”
“NEScol is an enriching learning environment where staff go above and beyond to ensure you experience great learning and understanding and also support YOU as an individual, encouraging you work to your full potential and achieve great things.”
“NESCol was a stepping–stone for me. It was calm, the course was paced evenly and the support I got was phenomenal. There was always help available. It prepared us for progressing into 2nd year in RGU.”
“The lecturers are really helpful and understanding, and all of the people in my class get on really well.”
“NESCol is the place that restored my faith in the education system and I was very fortunate to form great relationships, making friends for life and learning from lecturers that could see my passion and believed in me!”
“I enjoyed being a student at NESCol because, for the first time in my life, I had people that believed in me and I am now one step closer to my dream career that I never thought would happen.”
