Care and welfare assistant (bol)

As a healthcare and social care assistant, you'll have a job where no two days are the same! You'll help people who need support for whatever reason. Think of people with disabilities or elderly people who can no longer manage everything themselves due to declining health. You'll provide support with things like eating and drinking, personal care, and meaningful activities.

You'll start the first 10 weeks with 5 days of school and begin your internship in the 11th week. For the remainder of the program, you'll spend 2 days a week on internship and 3 days in school.

In the Education and Examination Regulations (OER) of a study program, you can read what you will be doing in which period, how much time is spent on this, and an overview of the exams that will be administered. Find the OER for your study program here.

Search by your Crebo number (see the box on the right of this page) to view the OER for the current academic year. This will give you a general idea of what's expected of you when you start the program. The OER for the upcoming academic year will be available in July.
