If an offer that you’re interested in involves language training, you will be invited to a trial lesson (if you haven’t studied the language before) or a language assessment (if you already have some knowledge of the language). This meeting is scheduled online with one of our teachers. The positive outcome of the assessment makes you eligible to move to the next stage of the recruitment process.

Interview with an Employer
As soon as an employer shows interest in your profile, you will be invited to participate in a job interview. This allows you to find out more about working conditions and responsibilities. After the interview, the employer will make the final decision about offering you employment.
Contract of Employment
When you receive and accept the job offer, you will sign an offer letter which guarantees employment in the position you applied for, together with the agreed terms, conditions and salary, provided you meet all the requirements listed in the job offer.
Language training
If your job offer involves language training, we will present you the programme of our free-of-charge course which you will attend once you have signed the offer letter.

We provide intensive course at our campus in Poland – 5 days per week (36 hours per week) – or online (less intensively, based on candidates’ availability). During the training, we not only cover the aspects of everyday communication, but also focus on professional, medical vocabulary and the typical situations to be confronted in the new work environment. Special emphasis is put on good communication with patients and colleagues. We also try to incorporate some cultural elements so that you can be aware of the differences which may arise when you move to a new country.

Depending on the job offer and language requirements, the training programme may continue after your relocation and will be run together with the induction at the new workplace. Additional training is delivered part-time during the first few months after arrival.
If your job offer does not include language training and you do not meet the language requirements listed in the job offer, we strongly encourage you to sign up for a commercial online course at Paragona Academy.
