In Belgium, there are several possibilities for working as a care assistant or registered nurse. Here are a few possibilities to consider before embarking on another project.

Anyone who has been employed as full-time or equivalent care and support staff for at least five years in the ten years preceding their application, in one or more approved home help services, can be permanently registered as a care assistant if they have :

a certificate stating that they have successfully completed at least 200 hours of additional theoretical training ;
a certificate stating that they have completed a minimum of 75 hours of additional practical training in a hospital, rest home for the elderly and/or approved rest and care home.

Develop your skills while working:

While continuing to work, it is possible to start or continue studying nursing or care assistant. Project 360 and 600 provides reimbursement of enrolment fees and training leave in addition to paid educational leave. The project is aimed at people working in nursing homes, private hospitals or home care services.

However, there are certain conditions: you must have worked for the company for at least 9 months on a permanent part-time contract, and you must not have a higher diploma or a CESS for nursing studies.

As with the 360 and 600 projects, there is also a project for refugees, the integrasoins project, which allows to continue studying.
