Mental Health First Aider Course
Looking after the wellbeing and mental health of you and your employees or colleagues has never been so important. There are many ups and downs in life, so, building resilience and supporting others in tough time has become a top priority for many businesses.
Why become a Mental Health First Aider?
This course will provide you with the understanding of mental health and the factors that can affect wellbeing, and confidence to step in, reassure and support a person in distress using the Mental Health First Aid action plan.
Through 4 two-hour sessions, you will gain the knowledge to help someone recover their health by guiding them to further support - whether through self-help resources, internal support such as Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP), or external sources such as their GP. It’s important to note that whilst this course will enhance interpersonal skills such as non-judgemental listening , you’re not being trained as counsellors.
How to register
If you want to build your skills in this important area, please get in touch with your usual Allianz contact. We will run several virtual courses throughout the year, dependent on demand.

Premium Instalment Plan (PIP)
The Allianz Instalment System offers an easy and convenient way of spreading the cost of your customers' premiums.
More information and an application form to be completed by your customer can be found on our Application for Premium Instalment page.
Frequently asked questions
Customers will receive an immediate acknowledgement email with their reference number when they submit their application. Upon acceptance, the client will receive a further email with their agreement number. We aim to complete this within 7 working days.
Formal documentation will then be issued approximately 10 working days after the client’s acceptance, with a copy sent to yourself.
If you have any questions regarding the premium instalment plan, please contact the instalments team on 0330 102 1820 or by email to creditapplication@allianz.co.uk.
The online application process is suitable for the majority of our customers; however if your customer is unable to complete online or wishes to pay by quarterly or monthly instalments, they will still need to submit a paper application form.
Our paper form doesn’t ask for payment card details as we're unable to accept these details in written format. As part of our improvement to PCI DSS compliance, we’ll no longer be able to enter customer card details on behalf of the cardholder. Instead, the cardholder will need to key in the card details using a touch-tone phone while on a call with our customer service agents. If your customer wishes to pay their instalment deposit by debit or credit card, they'll be informed how to do this by email at the point of submission.
Our online application form is to be completed by the customer. Send them the link to the following page, which contains answers to common customer queries and directions to complete the application:
At present we’re unable to send you a notification that we have received an application from any particular client. However, your client will receive an acknowledgement email.
You should receive your copy of the documentation within around 10 working days of acceptance onto instalments
There is a Q&A for customers on the online application form that may be able to help.
If your customer needs further assistance, please ask them to contact us by calling 0330 102 1820.
They will only need to apply online again if they wish to use a different bank account or if the new policy has a different start or end date from the existing policy.
If they wish to use the same bank account we suggest you call us to discuss on 0330 102 1820.
Where the agent is administering a bank account on behalf of the policyholder, the agent needs to complete the form in their own name "on behalf of" the policyholder. Please ensure they include the policyholder name in the "Applicant Name" field and provide their contact details for correspondence.
If the policyholder is paying the instalments themselves, they need to complete the application.
You’ll need to use our paper form in these circumstances.
Please note these special conditions for quarterly instalments:
- The option to choose an instalment collection date (preferred payment date) is not available; the first collection will need to be made on the date the policy starts.
- We cannot accept late applications for quarterly collections. The application must be submitted within 60 days from the start of the policy.
The address for all instalment post is:
Allianz Insurance plc,
4th Floor,
1 St George’s Square,
Bath Street,
Bristol, BS1 6BA.
We can also accept scanned images of paper application forms emailed to creditapplication@allianz.co.uk.
