Do language Trainers speak English?

Although all trainers master English, the language is by-and-large taught in the language itself. The more you are absorbed into the language the easier things become.

In the initial stages of the training where some additional explanation is required, English can be used. However, the main focus is on the language that you are trying to learn.

Is there an age limit to join an IWO Academy?

Our language courses are aimed at fully trained nurses, preferably with some years of experience, ready to take on an international assignment. So there is no real age bracket, but we are guided by the options for nurses abroad. As a guidance we use an age bracket of 25 to 40 years.

Do you need to have a basic knowledge of language before I can join?

The language training courses start from the very beginning and teaches the language from basics all the way up to level B1 or B2, depending on the language.

Are the courses taught in English?

Well, that kind-of beats the purpose of a language course. Although all trainers master English, the language is by-and-large taught in the language itself. The more you are absorbed into the language the easier things become. So, the courses are taught in the language itself, but there is always a fall-back in case some additional explanation is required.
