Health Improvement qualifications

Health Improvement Qualifications

Health improvement matters to all of us on a personal as well as a community level. That's why RSPH offers a wide variety of qualifications and courses from level 1 to level 4.

We offer qualifications ranging from mental wellbeing to tackling gambling harms and health coaching, as well as our Young Health Champions programme for people ages 14-24.

If you are interested in working with RSPH to provide these qualifications, get in touch to join our centre network.

"The Level 2 Award in Understanding Health Improvement award has helped to understand our community needs and how we, as Health Champions, can signpost to the services available in the community and how we can support our community to become healthier and be more active."
