Dear, let her take NVQ level 3 certificate. Make sure it is an Ofqual regulated one and you will get her COS. secondly, if you want her via Health and care route. Let her also take phlebotomy certification or Clinical/medical Assistant as an addon.
For sure, she will. Also do not neglect to get a good professional profiling to be added to her CV. She can go for the NVQ in Nigeria
Thanks

Hi, this is the problem of our people.
There is different between buying a job/COS and getting a job.
When you buy COS from Care agencies. You will not have shifts when you arrive here but when you get a job, when you arrive here. The job will be there for you because the company that employed you, did that as a result of need not by inducement to sell COS.
In the UK health and Care standard, Nurses are not meant to work as Carer.
Nurses can only be employed as a nurse on Band 5 as the entry point while Healthcare Assistant starts with Band 2 and 3.
NVQ Health and Social Care framework is structured in such a way that the enabling framework is covered.
For you to switch from Care agencies to NHS, Health and Social Care is a must.
Also, if one in Nigeria or outside the country wants to get this COS without buying it. I strongly advise NVQ.
Finally on the issue of Nurses not getting employed, I will come to that in a new post.
I write as one who is in the system and not outside the system.
NVQ qualifications in any field in the UK is better placed in terms of Jobs than most University certificates we parade from Nigeria.
All skilled jobs ranging from tilers, plumbers, electrical etc are all NVQ inclined. Believe it or not. That is the framework.
It is structured in EQF/RQF.



COS. secondly, if you want her via Health and care route. Let her also take phlebotomy certification or Clinical/medical Assistant as an addon.

All this you people are just typing I don't understand. NvQ this and that. Certification is good especially people already in the UK that wants carrier progression not people in Nigeria. Nurses find it very difficult to get jobs from Nigeria (I mean nurses who have passed both. CBT and IELTS exams) talk more of ordinary career. It's becoming very difficult for people inside the UK with post graduate visa to get Cos not to mention people in Nigeria. The best route one can easily migrate now is through school because most sold Cos the company doesn't have jobs for you.

Good evening everyone, I hope you had a wonderful day today....... My brother has completed his class work for master's degree program in child and Adolescent mental health CAMH, but only remaining his project research defense which will is expected this November, after which he can request for notification of result, his first degree is BSc psychology, his aim now is to travel to the UK given the type of course he's studying as he's finding it difficult to get a paid placement to practice. please I will need your honest advice/opinions on this following questions
1) Will it be easy to get a job in the UK from Nigeria despite not having any paid work experience? Please any ideas that encompasses how, route and methods will be well appreciated.
2) Since he is yet to finish his program (remaining only project defense) if the response to the above question is positive, can he start the process of relocating or looking for job now or he should hold on till he finishes the program?

Thanks so much for your anticipated assistance.

Let me answer you with all sincerity, the answer is NO. The people in the UK with UK experience finding it very difficult to get jobs with sponsorship, talk more of someone with zero Nigeria experience. In the UK, experience matters a lot and many people lie about experience to get jobs. So your brother either look for someone who will give him reference, I mean hospital with official domain name and lie in his CV that he worked for the hospital for minimum of 5years and also add that he took care of your grand parents when they are sick for like another 5years, then add your uncles and any other person. Finally, he will be ready to defend the lies because this people can easily detect who is lying. He should read very well about mental health, safeguarding, learning disabilities and autism and also prepare his CV in European standard. Then maybe just maybe he may be lucky but the chances are 1/5000.

Fiestafetta:
Thanks so much for your quick and honest response. Quick one, he had mhGAP training and has his certificate already, he has been working under supervision of psychiatric consultants and other mental health professionals presently at the teaching hospital for his mandatory internship, he is assigni to carry out clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment formulation according to him.
Do you know other route he can explore maybe route that will be less rigorous and can afford him UK experience?
Once again, thank you for your response.

Where in Nigeria can she do this? Because the one she did is equivalent to NVQ

Teeforeal:

Shawarmagirl:

Meanwhile, if she is in Nigeria and has a first degree not related to education, let her go and register for PGDE at NTI just one year. Then register for TRCN exam. Registration is ongoing and exam is November.

But if she's in UK with you, she need to register for QTS exam. These qualifications qualify her to teach in UK. My one cent

Fiestafetta:
After gotten her TRCN what are other process to follow or what next to do? Others may benefit from this details

For those asking about teaching job, package your cv very well, and start applying through indeed, TES and so many other agencies. The truth is you only need to be a registered teacher in Nigeria with years of experience to get a job and of course pray very hard. I am a living witness, i got a teaching job directly into a school from Nigeria, i landed in the uk last Wednesday without any help from any body or agency. My school is in Kent, the Lord has been so good to me. If you are a science teacher, your chance is very high provided you are ready to do the hard work of updating your cv, searching for schools and submitting tons applications. Cover letter and personal statement are also very important. All the best

alakara:
If your first degree isn't in education, can you get this through NTI pgde?

080mamaayi:
No, i did not bother to apply for it.


Please, have you gotten your QTS?....I am a teacher of biology and have applied4my QTS,though haven't been awarded yet....is it possible for me to get a teaching job even without QTS ?

080mamaayi:
Thank you, keep making it don't give up. Trust me it's not easy at all but if i did then anyone else can. And by the way, what did you study?

Wow congrats dear....I would love to connect with you...I am seriously making applications even though I haven't gotten anything yet.

Chigboz:
If you are already with Health and care visa, i advice you only switch your sponsor to the same visa category. Once you switch to other category, your visa/ number of years spent in the UK will start from Zero which will elongate your ILR.
I advice you should go for Health and social care Level 3 NVQ, Ofqual regulated. Once you have it, then you can even switch to NHS. Make sure it is Ofqual regulated.
I did my online in One centre in Nigeria as UK centres are too expensive.
Thanks
