Check if you qualify

This certificate programme at All Nations University trains you as a nurse assistant with a focus on preventive health. You learn to support communities in staying healthy through education, screening, and basic care. Here we explain what the field involves and what to expect.

What a preventive health assistant does

Programmes of this kind focus on keeping people healthy rather than treating illness. You study basic nursing care, health education, maternal and child health, immunisation support, and community disease prevention. The training prepares you to work in health centres, clinics, and communities, helping to spot health risks early and encourage healthy habits.

How hard it is to get a place

All Nations University does not publish a specific entry difficulty for this certificate. At public nursing training colleges that offer similar programmes, entry is less competitive, which gives an idea of the general demand for this course. Since the exact requirements here are not public, it is best to contact the university directly.

Skills you can build

You develop practical skills in basic patient assessment, health counselling, record keeping, and community outreach. You also learn to identify common health problems and make timely referrals. These skills are useful in both clinical settings and public health programmes.
