The Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) courses offered at the University of Wolverhampton will enable you to develop your knowledge, skills and values in mental health practices in order to enhance your capabilities within your own area of expertise. The courses are designed to enable mental health professionals to develop and demonstrate practice in accordance with the published requirements of Social Work England (SWE) to act as Approved Mental Health Professionals.
Entry requirements
Applications are welcome from candidates who are one of the following:
- that you are registered in one of the professions eligible for AMHP training;
- that you have at least two years’ post-registration experience
- that the necessary learning opportunities will be made available to you, including 43 days in supervised practice, during which you will be assessed by a practice educator who is an experienced AMHP;
