We believe that caring for the elderly is not just a responsibility but a deeply rewarding vocation. Our Adult Caregiver Course is designed to equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, and compassion required to provide holistic care for elders in various settings, including home care and institutions.
A Caregiver (Elder) is a special individual dedicated to enhancing the lives of our senior citizens. They play a vital role in providing comprehensive care, assisting with Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), and addressing other unique care needs. Caregivers offer companionship, emotional support, and physical assistance while promoting the overall wellbeing of the elderly in their care.

Modules outline:
Students in NVQ programs are required to undergo on-the-job training (OJT) before they can graduate.
OJT is a type of experiential learning often used in skill-based qualifications that involve hands-on work or the use of specialized equipment, software, or machinery. Right after the course completion. In a OJT you will receive first-hand experience performing tasks related to your role from a co-worker or supervisor.
The purpose of OJT is to prepare you for your position. The instruction and hands-on practice you complete as part of the training can help you develop the skills, competencies, and knowledge you need to carry out your role when you go to the job market. When OJT is complete, you should be able to perform most or all of the tasks for your position without supervision.
In all NVQ Courses, some modules are assessed within the on-the-job training Period. The usual OJT period stems from 3 months to 6 months, depending on the course and level.
This course requires an OJT for 06 months.
