Hello everyone.

I have seen some responses to my question below in the thread, however I haven't seen any response that goes into details.

My question is:
For someone with a UK MSc from years back, returned to Nigeria after studies and currently applying on the Health Care Worker Visa route as a Care Assistant, is the UK MSc Certificate sufficient to prove English competence?

I have seen a lot of "yes" responses to the question on the thread, however, please does anyone know anyone who has successfully applied from Nigeria for the Health Care Worker visa using just their UK MSc certificate, without needing NARIC/ECCTIS or IELTS?

I will appreciate a detailed response to this please.
Wouldn't want to spend all that money getting NARIC/ECCTIS evaluation, only to find out I could have done without it.

Thank you.

Good morning everyone,pls who has gotten a job with Florence certificate??Most of the care homes are requesting for NVQ 2

Uzland:

Hello Beautyfoch, you didn't understand my explanations. Please note that Care worker/Home Care assistant etc with ONS code 6145 is eligible for both Health and Care Worker visa (HACW visa) and Skilled Worker visa (SW visa). However, 6145 (and even 6146) is not a shortage occupation under Health and Care Worker visa, but it is a shortage occupation only under Skilled Worker visa. Many people don't take notice of this important difference in classification, yet there are implications to it.

On the other hand, Healthcare assistant/Nursing auxiliary etc with ONS code 6141 is a shortage occupation under Health and Care Worker visa.

Attached here are screenshots of the lists of shortage occupations for each of the two visa categories from the gov.uk links below.

I just read an article from care UK that most carehome are working together to see that Ukrainian refugees are employed in the care sector. I'm believing this because this whole care assistant rush is becoming more silent by the day. Now they hardly reply messages. But in all we give God praise

Emurate1:


Package your CV and apply. Forget about the NVQ stuff

Queengold1:

Florence and other cpd courses are certified trainings I placed them under other certificates but for nvq alison diploma in care can cover that

Janeyy22:
Goodday everyone. Please someone help me out, for the health and care worker visa, has anyone applied for it and got his/her visa without submitting any sch documents like degree or waec? Since they don't make it mandatory, I have a HND in a Science course and I am using 2 waecs, I dont want to complicate issues and I don't want to look under-qualified. I don't plan to attach any of them or I will just attach the HND and leave OND and waec. Please has someone gotten through without submitting these sch certificates for the visa? Please help

Overall 6.5 but had 5.5 in reading . Really worried about that 5.5

Emurate1:


The documents required for Visa application is at UKGOV. At no point is WAEC or HND Certificate required for HCA Visa application.

You can still liaise with tomatosauce1 for more information. She just got her visa
