The aim of this program is the development of capable, ethical and professional Healthcare Assistants, with a focus on building entry-level knowledge and hands-on practice within the health and wellbeing sector. Students will understand the changing needs of their clients and will learn to provide person-centred care under the leadership of a health professional, through the combination of a work placement and theoretical learning.
Before being accepted into the program applicants:
- Must declare any physical or learning disability, or diverse needs that may impact on your performance as a student.
- Are required to undertake literacy and numeracy testing.
Please note:
- Applicants must have turned 16 years of age prior to starting the program.
All students will be required to complete 80 hours of work placement during the program, so they can put their knowledge into practice and gain confidence working in a healthcare setting. This can either be in a paid position the student already holds, or a voluntary position, and can be in an aged care facility, residential care, disability support, or hospital. Voluntary work placements are organised by students.
Blended Learning
Blending the flexibility of online learning with practical experience and face-to-face engagement, all students access the learning management system (NZTC Online) for course materials, research and support materials, and assessment submission and return.
