Other than doing work that greatly interests you, a healthcare profession can open more doors of amazing opportunities for you. The range of skills and experiences is limited only to your imagination. Please read our blog article on this here..

The Center for Healthcare Professions Cebu offers pre-advising for all incoming students and regular advisories for its enrollees—free of charge. CHP Cebu has full-time advisers who are constantly in touch with professional schools and other educational institutions, have helpful resources not readily available to students, and are therefore able to provide customized individual advising. Students who undergo professional advising get admitted to their chosen schools at twice the rate of students who don’t.

If you have decided to get into the health care profession, the first step that you need to do is definitely to get the proper training. This could mean enrolling in the most appropriate health care courses. Center for Healthcare Professions Cebu has several health care-related courses you can enroll in.

Each of the courses is handled by highly qualified and experienced instructors, so you know that you’ll be getting the right information. Further, the courses offered usually include practical applications and even assessments so you’ll have the opportunity to take the necessary exams and have yourself certified. After that, you can practice your profession.

Getting into a healthcare career is a life-changing decision and should therefore be given deep consideration prior to embarking on enrolling oneself to a healthcare course.

Ask yourself some of the following questions:

• Do I care deeply about other people and their problems?
• Am I a good listener?
• Do I enjoy learning, gaining new understanding?
• Am I prepared to make a substantial commitment to my education?

If you answered yes to most of these questions, chances are you have the right kind of personality for a healthcare career.

There are plenty! Center for Healthcare Professions Cebu specializes in health care-related courses, which means after your training, you can become a licensed practical nurse, a caregiver, or an ER assistant, just to name a few. You can also do volunteer work in the medical field or be in the scene of action by being a first aider or responder.

If you want to serve the government in a healthcare setting, you can enroll in our barangay health services programs. You can also combine both healthcare and tourism by taking courses in hilot or wellness massage.

CHP Cebu also offers non-medical-related courses, and these include several levels of English as a Second Language and Nihongo classes. Our ESL trainings are designed primarily for non-English-speaking foreigners, which should allow them to do business and communicate conversationally with millions of people around the globe. Our Nihongo classes, meanwhile, are perfect for individuals who are planning to go to Japan for leisure or for work, in which case passing the language proficiency exam is mandatory.

We also offer courses for those who like to join the business process outsourcing industry by becoming a call center agent. Getting and graduating from these courses will definitely give you the head start that you need or make you more competitive in the field.

There are many different pathways to get into healthcare, but one of the best is by getting yourself educated. That places one foot on the industry. Moreover, the Philippines has more stringent requirements for anyone who likes to join the health care industry, which makes your education even more important, if not mandatory.

After you receive your education, you need to have yourself assessed and take the exams. You have to pass these exams before you can receive your license to practice. Usually, licenses have expirations, and in between, you need to take continuing education classes to give yourself better opportunities, including bigger positions, more incentives, better compensation, and promotion.

Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) is in charge in helping Filipinos here and abroad receive the right set of skills to maintain or improve their competencies. This way, they have bigger chances of finding a good job, becoming more valuable to the industry, and even allowing them to explore entrepreneurship later. One of the tasks of the agency is to develop training programs. While some of these courses are conducted in their offices, they have allowed schools, institutions, and training centers, among others, to offer the same.

When a person takes a TESDA-accredited course, this means that the course is not only recognized but also approved by TESDA. Anyone who graduates from it has the chance to get oneself assessed in preparation for an exam or to receive a certification, which can be helpful or a requirement in getting a job.

Over the years, we have added more TESDA-accredited courses in our portfolio of training programs. These include:

• Barangay Health Services
• Caregiving
• Emergency Medical Services
• Health Care Services
• Hilot (Wellness)
• Licensed Practical Nursing
• Massage Therapy
• Pharmacy Services

CHP Cebu is well-known for offering a wide variety of health care-related classes, but we’ve also worked hard to expand our offers and ensure more people are able to take advantage of classes developed by Technical Education Skills and Development Authority (TESDA). These include:

• Finishing Courses for Call Center Agents

You can view the trainings here.

We are planning to add more in the future, so make sure that you bookmark our website, add us in your social media, or contact us.

In many of our courses, especially if they are TESDA accredited, you need to be assessed. Its purpose is to check whether:

• You’ve learned something from the program.
• You’ve mastered both the theories and application.
• You’re prepared to take the exam.
• You are ready to proceed to the next level of competency or skill.

One of the highlights of the assessment is to test your level of skill or competency according to the regulations, requirements, or objectives of the course you’ve undertaken. Thus, during the assessment, you may undergo a written and oral exam, demonstration, and interview.

After the assessment, you will receive either a Certificate of Competency or National Certificate.

Not all training schools can provide an assessment, but CHP Cebu can, which means you have one less thing to worry about.
