In addition to our extensive UK provision, we also provide NVQ and Btec training to overseas students.
These students require a work placement in order to complete the practical part of their course.
They will be undertaking a
Btec National certificate in Health & Social Care at
no cost to you, in a Home Office compliant scheme.
There is
no cost to you for either the work placement or the training, as this is purely to facilitate the students care qualification.
We will arrange all paperwork necessary including police checks and previous employment references and our agents overseas will arrange the necessary visa for your student.
Your Responsibilities:
