The Liebeskind Care Academy is a nursing school that offers vocational training to become a Qualified Nursing Professional or Qualified Nursing Assistant.
The vocational training for becoming a Qualified Nursing Professional lasts for 3 years and the training for becoming a Qualified Nursing Assistant lasts for one year.
We offer courses for the theoretical portions of the vocational training but for the practical portions you will require an apprenticeship at a hospital, retirement home, or a homecare service. We can help connect you with some of our partner companies should you require assistance in finding an apprenticeship.
Our courses follow the Blocksystem which means that the theoretical and practical training alternate. During your training you will learn about all areas of care which include time in the acute care sections in hospitals, long term care at retirement homes, homecare, psychiatric care, and pediatric care.
After completion of your exams you are free to choose which path you wish to work in.
Your training here is recognized in all member states of the EU (European Union)
An important fact for you to know is that during your training, you will receive a monthly salary from the company for your apprenticeship which can cover your cost of living.
