Background: Recovery Colleges offer an educational approach to personal recovery within mental health services. Fundamentally, course design and delivery incorporates co-production via collaboration between practitioner and peer trainers. Objective: What guidance, training and support have been provided for peer and practitioner trainers who participate in the design and delivery of Recovery College courses? Method: A scoping review was conducted using Ovid, Embase, PsychoInfo, PsycArticles, HMIC, Global Health, Cochrane, Social Policy and Practice databases. Data were summarised using descriptive analysis focusing on themes including individuals' experience of co-production, training, guidance and support provided to co-produce courses within the Recovery College setting. Results: Of the initial 360 articles identified, 19 met the study inclusion criteria. Across the articles, co-production was recognised as beneficial for those involved. The identified themes were collaborative experience, training, guidance and support provided for trainers co-producing Recovery College education. Conclusion: This scoping review highlighted the limited training, guidance and support provided to those participating in co-production of Recovery College education.
