FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Is a nanny a babysitter?
Not exactly. Nannies are highly trained professionals who are proficient in a range of skills such as nutrition, child stimulation and are extremely well organised.
Babysitting is more an occasional occurrence for a very short amount of time.
What is the difference between Norland college, this school and other trainings?
We do not offer the 3 year bachelor degree like Norland college, they are unique in their own way. They do assist us for a next profile of nanny: intensively trained with proven techniques by our school.
Other training initiatives are different to us in many ways.
✓ Our training is 3 weeks, residential and in small class sizes.
✓ The curriculum is very extensive and covers over 50 topics.
✓ We integrate the science of household management through our years of experience in high net worth households.
✓ Our instructors are world class level in their very area of expertise.
Do I need a higher education to enrol in this training?
We do appreciate candidates with background in healthcare and related fields of expertise. However, we will consider every candidate and would love first to talk to you and discover your motivation and experience so far.
What are the chances of finding a job after this training?
The whole reason we put this training in the market is because the demand for professionally trained nannies is very high. We can honestly say that demand is bigger than supply.
However, we didn't want to rush into it with a quick learn system. We wanted to offer the best in the market with the best partnerships. That is why it has taken us a bit of time to launch the nanny training.
Can I really learn this in 3 weeks?
Guilty, the training is rather intensive and a lot of information will be coming your way. For that reason we don't train in a traditional way. How do we do it? We have 3 little secrets:
Prior to arriving there is some work to be done.
We have an online platform that will support you before, during and after the training.
We set up a private community to assist you during your job.
How do we know this works? We have been doing it for years with our butler students! The best proof are our results.
