Service experience, or care already given at home
Service life brings calmness under pressure, teamwork and commitment. Family members of ex-service personnel often bring years of hands-on care for a parent, spouse or older relative. CareForce turns either starting point into employable caregiving skills.
Learn through supervised demonstrations, skills lab exercises and practical assessments, followed by training in a real care setting.

No. Candidates arrange and pay for their own accommodation, meals and travel.
Will I receive a certificate?
CGA conducts assessments. A successful course completion certificate is awarded only to candidates who meet the pass criteria in classroom sessions, skills lab and on-the-job training.
Will CGA help me find a job?
CGA works towards placing successful participants and supports employer opportunities and interviews. Candidates must pass employer selection rounds. Employment depends on vacancies, skills and hiring criteria, so a job is not guaranteed.
