The first segment of the program comprises of 3 semesters (3 cycles of theoretical knowledge of 10 weeks for each cycle/semesters)

This covers all theoretical topics over 7 months of live classroom instruction. Classes are held four times per week on our online learning platform, and students have 24/7 access to the platform throughout the program.
At the end of each cycle, students will complete a 100-question online examination, requiring a minimum score of 70% to advance.

2. Hands-On Practical Training – 8 Weeks
Students who successfully pass the theory exam will progress to hands-on training at one of our training centers worldwide. This segment lasts eight intensive weeks, during which an instructor will teach all required clinical skills.
At the end of the practical training, students must complete a clinical simulation exam to demonstrate competency.

3. Clinical Placement (Practicum) – 300 Hours
The final segment is the clinical practicum, where students are integrated into a partnering healthcare facility’s team. They will perform the duties they have been trained for, completing a minimum of 300 clinical hours.
During this period, students are evaluated by their supervisor, mentor, and department head. Successful completion of this evaluation marks the end of the program.

After completing all three segments, students will receive their certificate of Training, and can partake in International Board Examinations and apply for jobs in various countries.

Graduates also receive job placement assistance, which includes connecting them with facilities we partner with when positions are available.
