Basic Maltese Language for Health Carer Course
While Malta is a bilingual country with English as a dominant language, recent regulations have mandated that key workers in client-based roles, such as healthcare, must be able to communicate in basic Maltese. This course is designed to meet this new requirement, ensuring that migrant workers are fully equipped to integrate into the Maltese workforce.
- Compliance with Local Regulations: For healthcare professionals seeking to work in Malta, this course is crucial for meeting the mandatory language requirements imposed by Maltese authorities. Basic proficiency in Maltese ensures effective communication with patients and colleagues, which is vital in healthcare settings.
- Practical Language Application: The course emphasises practical usage of the Maltese language, with asynchronous modules focusing on relevant vocabulary and phrases, and live conversation sessions providing real-time practice and feedback. This approach helps learners quickly gain the confidence to use Maltese in professional contexts.
- Enhanced Employability: Completing this course not only fulfils legal requirements but also enhances the employability of healthcare workers in Malta, making them more competitive candidates in the local job market.
The course comprises 18 modules, each designed to take approximately 45 minutes to complete. This is an online, self-study course, allowing participants to learn at their own pace. Participants will be enrolled in the course for a specific period, during which they can revisit and review the modules as many times as they like.
