Wellbeing Qualifications
Level 2 & 3 Awards

Structured, regulated qualifications in practical wellbeing delivery

Wellbeing work carries responsibility. It involves planning, safe delivery and clear professional boundaries.

The RSL Level 2 and Level 3 Awards in Wellbeing are regulated qualifications on the Regulated Qualifications Framework. They are designed to develop the knowledge, structure and practical skills required to plan and deliver supervised wellbeing activities in real settings.

Career Development

These awards focus on applied practice. Learners plan, deliver and formally review a wellbeing programme with at least one individual.
