These are internationally recognised qualifications and enable you to enter the UK on a 2 YEAR student visa. Due to the course being work based learning, you are entitled to work up to 40 hours per week.
The course is made up of 3 training segments and periods of work as follows:
UK Care Induction Course - Your initial induction and assessment will be completed in your first 3 days in the UK. This also allows the care home to complete the necessary paperwork required before you can begin work.
NVQ Level 2 Induction - An initial induction will be completed to assess you current level and any areas of your experience/knowledge that need particular attention. Due to the work based learning nature of NVQ’s, it is necessary that this course will be completed whilst you are undertaking paid employment.
