It is a training that allows you to acquire the knowledge needed to work in selected countries and to obtain a certificate necessary to find a job. It is conducted by accredited instructors of the Center, who teach in accordance with ISO MEWP 18878: 2013 standards and the guidelines of the OMHEC group (associating Norway, Great Britain, Denmark and Sweden).
