Prepare for International Care and Training Opportunities
Information on further education and healthcare support careers in the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States and Australia.
Where the programme fits
A foundation for further professional training
The Three-Month Basic Caregivers Training Programme provides foundational learning. It may help learners prepare for additional professional training, in Nigeria or abroad.
ICCHP intends to facilitate access to information about advanced professional programmes in the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States and Australia, subject to programme availability, admission requirements and confirmed institutional arrangements.
"Completion of ICCHP's three-month Basic Caregivers Training Programme does not automatically confer eligibility to work overseas. Foreign employment and further study depend on the requirements of the relevant employer, institution, professional authority, and immigration authorities."
