You will work in one of the participating elderly care institutions (nursing homes, care homes, or home care) that provide support and care in the areas of housing, day care, and/or leisure time.

• You provide temporary or permanent support with daily activities.
• You ensure that these people can live as independently as possible.
• You will develop your knowledge and skills, enabling you to provide demand-driven support together with colleagues, family members, and other stakeholders, to maintain the client's own control as much as possible.

You'll learn how to professionally interact and collaborate with vulnerable groups in elderly care, their families, and colleagues. You'll continually consider the client's needs and requirements, ensuring they maintain control over their own lives. You'll be flexible and work irregular hours.

You'll also take standard courses in subjects like Dutch, math, careers, and citizenship. You'll also choose several electives to learn more about topics related to your field. You'll receive more information about the electives available during your program. Each elective concludes with an exam.

You can only take this course if you work 24 to 28 hours per week at an accredited training company. Don't have an employer yet? You can contact a potential employer using the links below.
