Course overview
Nursing assistant careers may not be for the faint of heart but they’re unique in all they have to offer. After all, not all professionals can sincerely say their job makes a positive and lasting difference to people’s lives, at least not in a way that the nursing assistant job does. So, if you derive a sense of fulfilment from helping and caring for other people, then there’s no reason why you shouldn’t get paid for it, too. And there’s no better way to start on the path than with our Nursing Assistant Certificate.
The Nursing Assistant Certificate is a one-of-a-kind course, designed in conjunction with the senior members of the profession, so you can rest assured that the things you study serve you well in a professional setting. What’s more, the course is delivered remotely, which means you never have to choose between having a great qualification and attending to your other responsibilities.
In line with industry standards, the course covers a wide range of topics in making sure that learners walk away feeling confident in their skillset and are able to pursue relevant roles straight away. Some modules you will cover include health and wellness, rehabilitation nursing, community nursing and community support services; all of which will equip you for careers in various strands and specialisations of the nursing assistant role.
