Eligibility

A Training program that is set up with teaching sessions will attract students from overseas. Remember that opportunities in other parts of the world have improved considerably over the past 20 years and candidates have a choice. They do make a sacrifice by leaving an established career path to come to a new country to work and a series of rehabilitation posts,  care of the elderly posts or frequent changes in track will be frustrating for the candidate.
