This course provides the knowledge and practical skills needs to provide care for the elderly, either at home or in a residential care facility. Clinical practice offsite is an integral part of the course.

Background

Canterbury Link College, in coordination with Health Ed Trust provides the ACE healthcare programme. The course is approved by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority for students aspiring to achieve the National Certificate in Support of the Older Person. Canterbury Link College develops pathways for students seeking employment in an aged care facility or pursuing a career as a registered nurse in New Zealand. Most aged healthcare facilities in New Zealand use the ACE programme for their practical learning which most international students find very easy to learn and apply to their work. These programmes will be delivered in a 12-week module.
