Graduating nurses from the Capitol Institute of Health Sciences and Beauty Therapies have been told that golden opportunities await them in Cameroon and abroad.
This message of hope was delivered Friday, December 7 at the Bamenda Congress Hall by Edward Ngalah, Coordinator of the Institute."Capitol can today boast of more than 350 former students schooling and working in Europe, South Africa and the US," he announced.
He also disclosed that Capitol signed a training collaboration and exchange programme with Euro Training College based in Stratford, London.
"Cameroonians now have the option to register and train at Capitol and the option of simply registering in Euro Training College at Capitol and being transferred to London," he said.
He was proud that Capitol Higher National Diploma in Health Science trains nurses on courses like nursing, laboratory technology, beauty therapy, health administration and social care.
The institute, he said, also trains students for National Vocational Qualification, NVQ, British standard in health and social care, mental health and hospitality."These new courses are done in collaboration with Care College London and the awarding body is the British Educational Service," said Ngalah.
Internal certificate in Basic Nursing Science is the oldest course done at Capitol following an accreditation for the University of Connecticut, USA in 1998.
Detractors Nailed
Despite the efforts of Capitol to enable Cameroonians obtain jobs through the nursing field, Ngalah regretted that many malicious tongues have been wagging against the institute.
He advised all those who are ignorant about Capitol to enquire instead of trying to damn it without facts.
The Capitol Director heaped praises on teachers and sponsors of students who had made enormous sacrifices through payment of fees. Many consider Capitol he said, the most affordable higher learning institute in the Northwest, yet the funds are hard to come by.
He apologised to whomsoever has been offended by the activities of the institute or its coordinator. He hoped the students leaving the institute this year would become its mentor in future.
