A Trusted Pathway for Kenyan Citizens to Study Practical Nursing in Finland

We are excited to announce a long-term partnership with a respected vocational school in Helsinki, Finland, aimed at providing Kenyan citizens with the opportunity to study Practical Nursing. Our goal is to recruit 2–3 groups of Kenyan applicants annually, creating a sustainable pathway for education and professional growth.

This initiative is not only a unique educational opportunity for Kenyan citizens, but also a valuable contribution to Finnish society, supporting the care of elderly citizens and strengthening the social and healthcare sector.

Why This Opportunity Matters for Finland and Kenyan Citizens

Practical Nursing is one of the most needed fields in Finland, particularly in eldercare. After completing their studies, students can stay in Finland and work as Practical Nurses, helping address the growing demand for skilled healthcare professionals.

Finland as a country:

  • Safe, clean, and well-organized.
  • Excellent quality of life and social services.
  • High standards in professional and ethical work.
  • Supportive and stable environment for study and work.

A Reliable and Ethical Pathway

We are a Kenyan company with Finnish ownership, managing the entire recruitment process ourselves. This ensures the process is fully ethical, transparent, and professional. From application to selection and language preparation, we guide and support students every step of the way, helping them succeed in Finland.

Who Can Apply

Kenyan applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • Over 18 years of age. 
  • Completed at least high school education or equivalent.
  • In good health.
  • Able to speak and write English.
  • Highly motivated to work in the social and healthcare sector, especially eldercare.
  • Able to self-finance tuition, accommodation, and living expenses in Finland.

Preparation Before Arriving in Finland

  • To succeed in Finland, students must be proficient in Finnish, as Practical Nursing work is conducted entirely in Finnish.
  • The vocational school organizes approximately six months of Finnish language training in Kenya before students travel to Finland.
  • Students participate in full-time, online language courses, requiring a reliable internet connection and laptop.
  • Passing a language test is mandatory before traveling to Finland.

This preparation ensures students are ready to integrate, study, and work successfully in Finland.
