thank you

i hope you wont mind me asking if you have got other qualification. i came to uk on a working visa as a senior carer (your caregiver training course if for canada and NVQ training if for uk) although i did not have any NVQ qualification. and when i had the chance, with the help of my employer-sponsor, i was enrolled in NVQ and now works for the 2nd largest care service provider as a unit manager. as far as i know now, there are institution in the Philippines now offerring NVQ courses or you might just want to have the training here and the college will give you work placement.
