Gizelle Van Der Merwe is renown for not only dreaming her dreams, but making
them a reality. Nido Group International was one of these dreams and was
officially established in November 2005.
Having conquered the need for professional Health Care Services in South
Africa, Gizelle recognised the need for private health care services and
training internationally. Without realising what the outcome would be, Gizelle
embarked on her journey to see how Nido could make a difference in the world!
Strangely enough, Gizelle’s journey led her from the UK to Prague. She was
overjoyed at the amount of qualified professional nurses that were working in
Prague and the UK, but surprised to find that they were pursuing jobs i.e.
domestic helpers as opposed to careers in their profession. The Prague Post
approached Nido to become involved in the upliftment of women in the Czech
Republic and this was one of Nido International’s major building blocks. We aim
to train the women in private health care in South Africa and place them on
their road to success in the health care industry, wherever is most suitable
for them. The Nido Nursing Team is very excited to train the Czech Republic
students in SA, as not only will this open doors of opportunity for the
students internationally, but it is much more cost effective AND is an amazing
opportunity to travel in South Africa!
The training programme is approved internationally and is the perfect
stepping stone if you are considering nursing studies or studies in medicine.
Au Pair training is part of the curriculum and we assist in placements in the
USA, specifically San Fransisco.
Our international students kick off their exciting training in the world
renown Cape Town! If you are considering becoming part of the Nido
International team, please register online and we will inform you personally of
the presentation and registration days in London and Prague.
The cost of Nido Private Health Care Training for our 3 month course is
1,500 pounds. This excludes travelling and study visa applications. If you
would like to take this wonderful opportunity to not only enrich your career
but your cultural knowledge, Nido has all the necessary contact and information
regarding special travel deals. Your travel journey will show you our beautiful
winelands in Cape Town, cage diving with great white sharks, Ostriches and
Cango Caves in Oudsthoorn and of course not to be missed, the Kruger National
Game Park where you will see our BIG 5, the rhino, elephant, buffalo, lion and
cheetah!
Flight Centre in London will be able to assist you with your travel and
accommodation arrangements to South Africa and will advise our students on the
necessary procedure regarding visas.
We look forward to training and sending our students out onto their roads of
success.
