Education and Training
We’re aware that many healthcare jobs require you to have specific certificates, that often come with hefty price-tags and long wait-lists. There are even unrecognised courses that do more to confuse than help; that’s why we began our own CQC-recognised training, to educate rather than obfuscate.
During your induction into Nouvita, you will undergo a paid e-learning course, as well as a 5-day training programme (also paid) to equip you with everything you need to get started.
