Certificate in Health Support VRE017
 

Work in support of Health Professionals

This course is a step below being a nurse or health practitioner; but will provide valuable knowledge and skills that are in demand across a wide range of positions that support health services.

Health Services are more Diverse than Ever Before!

Going to the doctor should never be under rated; particularly with chronic and persistent complaints; but many people do patronise all sorts of other services for preventative or supplementary health care.

Doctors are also supported by a more diverse range of support services than ever before; from the people who manufacture and supply mendical services and equipment, to the many specialist services that cater to everything from nutritional counselling to laboratory testing.

This course provides a unique opportunity to develop a unique mix of knowledge and skills which are valuable in the health industries.

It may lead to employment in such things as: medical administration, receptionist for a doctor, physiotherapist, chiropractor or naturopath; medical sales and marketing positions, assistant, attendant or paramedical support positions.

How will this course advance my career?

Learning Cloud programs have been developed in response to industry demand and are specifically designed to equip graduates with work-ready skills. Each participant will be trained and assessed in theory and in practical tasks and Real-world exercises are used throughout the program.

Studies prove, time and again, that college-educated workers earn more than those with only a high school qualification. College graduates often enjoy additional benefits, including greater job opportunities and promotions. Though the proof for greater earning potential exists, some might wonder whether the cost of the education warrants the overall expense in the long run.

College Graduate vs. Non-Graduate Earnings

The National Centre for Education Statistics (NCES) analyses employee earnings data biennially, according to education level. Findings indicate that workers with a qualification earn significantly more than those without. Since the mid-1980s, education has played a large part in potential wages, with bachelor's degree holders taking home an average of 66% more than those with only a high school diploma do. While college-educated workers' wages have increased over the past two decades, those with only a high school education have seen decreases in annual salaries in the same time period (nces.ed.gov).
