Helo everyone!

I am the IIGS man

I have read quite a bit of the discourse. Very rich discussions with lots of good information about the health care visa. Some are on point while others still need some explaining.

Our course, offered in partnership with Apex Learning, is an accredited and regulated course. It is one of the best out there but it is not the only one; there are similar others offered by different companies like ours and accredited by other awarding bodies. One thing that sets us apart, though, is that we are the cheapest and this is deliberate and not an indication of poor quality.

It will be rather impossible to address everyone’s concerns here at a go so we are organising a Zoom discussion session (details to be sent later) where you can ask any question about the healthcare worker visa processes; I understand the process to an extent and I am willing to share. Those interested in our course can also show up to know why it is cheaper than others or ask whatever questions they would like to ask. The information and explanation that many have shared here should be enough for anyone to have decided on which to go for. My own 2 kobo is - do not pay for the not so useful added extras and make sure the issued certificate will be accepted for what you want to use it for and you are good to go!

I really need to say a big thank you to @festacgirlie, @Baccus85, and others that have called. Thank you, guys! I will try to answer questions here too so feel free to ask.

Thank you all.

TomatoSauce1:
I have a UK degree

TomatoSauce1:
I already mentioned how I got it. The role is health care support worker.
I don't have a health qualification. I was told I would be trained.

TomatoSauce1:
None and I didn't do this NVQ training, people are doing.

Guys, I can volunteer to start contacting Nursing agencies. I only need to walk into their office and let them know my Sisters and brothers are willing to work. They are DESPERATELY short staffed in the UK and all agencies are looking for workers but the oyibos are not answering them because they get monetary benefits that pays more than full time Care job.

I will need to set up some sort of consultation on LinkedIn and can start meeting the Care and Nursing agencies soon ( Or even the NHS directly)
I believe they will ask for your application and forward their interest and pre employment letter to the home office too.
Good luck to all of you.
All the Indians and Polish will get it if we don't act fast.
If you want me to contact them please show your interests below.
Well-done guys.

festacgirlie:
There are several similar Diploma 3 courses with exactly the same qualification, the only difference is which school/course provider you paid your fees to. Just like a Bsc degree gotten from ABU and UNILAG are the same thing. (at least they are supposed to be).

The courses I know and that I can assure anyone of are these below. They are regulated/accredited qualifications-

1. TQUK Level 3 Diploma in Healthcare Support (RQF)
2. TQUK Level 3 Diploma in Healthcare Support Services (RQF)

Below are links to different companies offering these same courses. All of them are offering the same courses. Your certificate will be the same thing.....but the course fees are different, all of them charge whatever they like. View all the courses' websites, read and decide for yourself. Read the courses description. I have done all these and I recommended the one I know was the best (you can read my earlier post).

https://coralandreed.com/product/nvq-level-3-diploma-adult-social-care/ (Coral & Reed and Qualifi) - £825.00

All the courses are online and self-paced which is an advantage.

Price is not an indication of quality from what I found out. All of the above are good so feel free to choose any. Pls note though that for some courses you will still have to pay for your certificate......

Many things to look out for. Though the IIGS man promised to come and explain the intricacies to us on nairaland; I don't know why he hasn't come. I hope it makes some sense to you?

You can DM if you still need more clarification.

festacgirlie:
There's nothing wrong with getting as many of these as you want but without a Level 3 Diploma qualifications or equivalent......

luckygeee:
That's what I am also asking but I feel it's a CPD certification which may not be equivalent to an NVQ. Not sure about this but I also need clarification

gistbite:
I have a plug in Nigeria if you are interested. It will be ready in 24hrs

CheesyTee:
I received my COS today from NHS!!!

But it didn't specify how many years they're sponsoring me for. I have emailed them to clarify this.

Silverb:
Congratulations dear

Blossom07:
Hello everyone, please for those that have done their Ecctis verification, was your transcripts sent directly to Ecctis from your school, or did you just upload a student's copy of the transcripts.... because my school does not send transcripts to unofficial email addresses or to the applicants. Please how did you go about yours?

festacgirlie:
Thank you.

festacgirlie:
My brother God go bless you plenty. I am almost regretting sharing the information here.

You have said it all. God bless and good night.

festacgirlie:
You guys should stop this!

Brilliant observation indeed! TQUK is the awarding body just like ATHE and Highland are awarding bodies that LPTC uses and buy courses to sell from.

Everyone including LPTC, Kope Medics, Apex Learning(IIGS), etc are all resellers. All the REGULATED courses are not theirs. Just like Apex Learning is partnering with IIGS Ltd KOPE-MEDICS and REGO ET’ EL are in collaboration to do same thing.

Apex Learning buy their own courses from TQUK; the UK government buy the same course from TQUK and I gave a link for people to confirm the course authenticity. I never said that the government buy from IIGS. So you people should stop twisting my words. IIGS is working with Apex Learning on this and everyone can get these courses cheaper if you go through IIGS website and use their coupon codes. Anyone that doesn't want a discount should buy his own courses from other sources or even buy directly from Apex Learning. IIGS negotiated a partnership Apex Learning UK to bring the courses cheaper to Nigerians. What is wrong with that?

You have been helping people here Uzland so do your due diligence and don't let anyone with wrong motives drag your name in mud.

If the courses are fake please say so with proof. Anyone can write Apex Learning for confirmation and post the response here biko.

This is why I took my time to check the companies before posting.

I can’t say. If you’ve done your due diligence and satisfied with the result you got then by all means proceed, if not look elsewhere. The most important thing is to make sure they are legit, recognized by the Uk and that whatever diploma certificate you’re getting is equivalent to RQF/NVQ. Just be careful as there are lots of scam out there looking for people to rip off.

What’s the name of the training company?

Baccus85:
Thank you

festacgirlie:
Everyone needs to be careful. Most of these trainings are not even recognised in the UK. Some are not even delivering the expected curriculum. My friend has gone for night job. She has a link to a UK government accredited and recognised course that anybody can confirm from the government website. I'll post the link here tomorrow for those that are interested.

Ligxy:
Please let me know if you are able to get one. I'm interested too.

amehrada:
3 months classroom teaching(Fridays or Satudays) then you have to do a clinical placement for 150hrs-200hrs. Depending on how carry out your clinical placement working hrs, it could be within 4-6months duration.

Beedollas:
Please is this equivalent to Rqf level 3?
