Activation specialist HF: training, further training, providers, checklists

Do you like working with older people and can you imagine spending your working day caring for the elderly and physically impaired? Higher technical colleges offer training or further training to become an activation specialist and prepare graduates for a varied, demanding and social job.

For the residents of old people's homes, your presence and care means a great change in their everyday lives and also promotes the community of people at your place of work. Training to become an activation specialist takes three years and prepares you for an exciting job.
