How OFWs in the Middle East can earn four healthcare certifications in just six months

The Filipino Institute has introduced a groundbreaking Certified Healthcare Specialist Program, a 4-in-1 course designed for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in the Middle East. The program enables participants to earn four certifications in just six months, equipping them with essential skills for careers in the rapidly growing healthcare industry.

The healthcare sector in the Middle East is experiencing significant growth due to increasing demand for medical services. Filipino professionals, including caregivers, nursing assistants, and healthcare aides, are in high demand across hospitals, clinics, and home care settings. This program aims to help OFWs secure stable employment and career advancement opportunities locally and internationally.

The Certified Healthcare Specialist Program combines three key roles—nursing assistant, caregiver, and healthcare assistant—into one streamlined course. Participants also earn an additional certification as a Certified Healthcare Specialist. The program is designed to save time and costs by consolidating overlapping topics.

Upon completion, participants receive four certifications:

  • Certificate in Nursing Assistance
  • Certificate in Caregiving
  • Certificate in Healthcare Assistance
  • Certificate as a Certified Healthcare Specialist

Flexible learning options

Understanding the unique challenges OFWs face, the program offers various learning modes to accommodate their schedules:

  • Face-to-face classes: Available at campuses across the Middle East
  • Virtual classes: Attend live online sessions from home
  • Self-paced learning: Access materials anytime through the institute’s online platform

This flexibility ensures even the busiest OFWs can enhance their skills and qualifications.

Program details and modules

The six-month course covers foundational healthcare skills, caregiver training, nursing assistant practices, and healthcare assistant responsibilities. The final phase includes practical training through real-world scenarios to prepare participants for actual healthcare roles.

  • Program start date: December 8, 2024
