Student testomonies prove it. "Doing a course with HealthSET gave me the confidence to work in this area, doing lots of practical skills in the classroom gave me the know how and skillset I needed. During my first job interview, I could talk about everything I learnt on the course. I now have a job looking after four older clients and I love what I do.'' (Mary, graduate of Care Skills and Care of the Older Person course ).
