Whats duration of course

[@GKHEALTHPASSPORT]

Hi @dr.afzaaldar, thank you for your question! Accredited institutes for caregiver courses vary by country, but here are some general tips: 1. Accredited Institutes: Look for institutions recognized by government bodies or international healthcare organizations. Examples include Red Cross, healthcare academies, or specialized nursing schools in your region. 2. Duration of the Course: Caregiver courses usually last 3 to 6 months for basic certifications. Advanced courses may take up to a year. Always confirm the specific duration with the institute you choose. If you’re looking for recommendations, let me know your country, and I can suggest some options. Best of luck!

@@shivonrosepinheiro9624 “Thank you for your kind words! Yes, it’s absolutely possible to switch to a career as a care worker. Many care worker courses are designed for individuals from various professional backgrounds, including teaching. As an English teacher, your communication skills and ability to connect with people will be valuable in this profession. To start, look for certified care worker training programs in India or internationally that meet the requirements for jobs in your target country. Once completed, you can apply for care jobs with visa sponsorship. Let me know if you’d like more details or guidance on this career path!”

Thank you so much for the positive reply. Yes I would need your assistance My target country is Switzerland or Ireland or any foreign country to Germany I think I need a german language certificate

[@GKHEALTHPASSPORT]

@@shivonrosepinheiro9624 “You’re welcome, and I’m glad to assist! For Switzerland, you’ll need to meet specific language requirements (usually German, French, or Italian, depending on the region) and obtain recognition for your qualifications if you’re aiming for nursing or caregiving roles. For Ireland, English proficiency and a valid work permit are essential, but many employers offer visa sponsorship for healthcare roles. If Germany is your target, you are correct-you’ll need a German language certificate, typically at a B1 or B2 level, as part of the visa and job application process. Start with a certified German language course to prepare. Let me know your preference, and I can guide you step-by-step for your chosen country.

Yes I have already subscribed as I felt your video informative . How about Ireland ? I will have to do IELTS right? Is PTE accepted ?

[@GKHEALTHPASSPORT]

@@shivonrosepinheiro9624 “Thank you for subscribing and for your kind words! Regarding Ireland, yes, for most healthcare and caregiving jobs, you will need to demonstrate your English proficiency. IELTS is widely accepted, and for nursing or caregiving roles, you typically need a minimum overall score of 7.0 with no band less than 6.5. However, PTE (Pearson Test of English) is also accepted for certain roles, depending on the employer or specific requirements. I recommend checking with the job listing or the specific healthcare employer for their preferred language test. Feel free to ask if you need guidance on preparing for these tests or the application process. Don’t forget to stay tuned-more updates on Ireland’s recruitment agencies are coming soon!”
