We offer two programmes to our students, the 4-year programme Practical Nurse and a 3-year programme Nursing Assistant. Both programmes consist of general knowledge subjects, professional theoretical subjects, practical education in specialized classrooms, hospital or nursing home practice and additional activities.
The great majority of students (35 classes of 38) study to become a Practical Nurse. For the first two years they practice necessary professional tasks in specialized classrooms to be then able to perform «real« practice in various hospitals during the remaining two years. After they finish their studies, our students can seek employment or they can enrol at university colleges, mostly at the College of Health Care. If they choose to study Medicine, they have first to complete 1-year programme Matura Course and the matura examination.
Some students choose a 3-year programme Nursing Assistant. Practice starts in the first year and it is held exclusively in various nursing homes. After completing their studies, most of them seek employment in nursing homes, other centres of social welfare or they can provide help for tenants at home. Some of them continue their studies for other two years to become Practical Nurse.
