Important: what this diploma is (and isn’t)

An FI Professional Diploma is a skills-training certificate issued by Filipino Institute. It is not a nursing licence and does not allow you to work as a nurse. It is also not a TESDA National Certificate (NC) or a CHED degree.

In the Philippines, nursing-aide and caregiver jobs usually ask for TESDA Health Care Services NC II or Caregiving NC II. Abroad, nursing-assistant roles (such as CNA or healthcare assistant) usually require that country’s own training, exam or registration. This diploma helps you prepare, but it does not replace those requirements. We also recommend a Basic Life Support (BLS) course from an accredited provider.
