There is a considerable number of people well-disposed to a nursing and caring profession who do not have the English language competencies required to qualify for accreditation by key industry groups.

The purpose of Body Basics: Occupational English for Nurses and Carers is not to impart the knowledge, deliver the learning outcomes, or assess the vocational competencies of Community Care Industry Training Packages but to help develop listening and speaking skills to the levels required by the industry.

Another Practica Global product – English for Employment – develops reading skills, writing skills, and basic administration skills in parallel with Body Basics: Occupational English for Nurses and Carers.

Body Basics: Occupational English for Nurses and Carers and English for employment both develop the English language competencies that have been deemed as necessary for a successful career in nursing and caring.
