Thank you so much to my teachers, she taught me to be more patient and how to handle elderly. Now I can work as a live-in caregiver under Active Global. I hope that in future I can apply for Healthcare Assistant roles.

I joined Home Academy, to gain knowledge and skills and to develop my ability and to explore some interest in learning as a preparation for my future career. As a live-in caregiver, it helps me build my skills, knowledge and techniques in caring for the client or patient.

I joined HOME academy because I wanted to upgrade myself and get more income as I needed to support myself and my family. I graduated with a basic computer, healthcare assistant, and nursing aide certificate from HOME Academy. After graduating from HOME academy, I applied for a healthcare assistant job in elderly home, and now I am hired. All thanks to HOME Academy!

Attending computer class has helped me to improve my confidence. I’m planning for when I’m leaving Singapore for good, I can use the skills to work at a call centre in the Philippines. It’s a big help for me.
