What you’ll learn — hands-on at a working care home
Most caregiving is a practical, bedside choice — how to move someone safely from bed to wheelchair, how to reassure a resident who is anxious after a hospital visit. The Level 1 course is built around that reality: classroom teaching first, then supervised rotations across our wards.
- Safe positioning, transfers and mobility support
- Personal hygiene, feeding and pressure-sore prevention
- Medication awareness and vital-sign basics
- Dementia and Alzheimer's support techniques
- End-of-life and palliative comfort care
- Emergency response and when to escalate to a nurse
Trainers are practising senior nurses from the Naman ward, so what you learn in the classroom is exactly how care is delivered on the floor. Batches are kept to 8–12 students so every trainee gets bedside supervision by name.
Who this course is for
A caregiving career in Nepal
If you want to work as a professional caregiver in a care home, hospital or private home in Kathmandu, this is your entry point. No prior medical background is required, and strong graduates may be considered for roles at Naman or referred to partner care homes when openings arise.
Preparing for caregiver jobs abroad
Many trainees join to build the hands-on foundation needed for caregiver roles in Japan, Israel and the Gulf. The practical skills transfer directly; you should confirm each destination country’s own certification and language requirements separately.
Certification and recognition
The 3-month Level 1 Caregiver Course runs under permission granted by CTEVT and follows the CTEVT curriculum. The permission is granted for a fixed term and renewed on expiry.
On completing the course you receive two certificates:
- A course-completion certificate from Naman Caregiver Training Institute (NCTI), on the CTEVT curriculum.
- A Naman Care Home certificate. This second certificate carries weight because your practical training and ward rotations are completed inside a working, registered care home — it evidences supervised hands-on experience with real residents, not classroom hours alone. Many employers and agencies specifically ask for evidence of practical placement.
Our separate 28-day Geriatric Caregiver course is Naman’s own course and does not carry CTEVT permission; it receives an NCTI course-completion certificate only.
