TESDA Caregiving Certificate NCII and Hebrew Language Training

 

The first thing that you are going to do when you want to work in Israel is to make sure you are fit for the job. Make sure you are 100% keen about applying as a caregiver. Remember, it is NOT an easy profession to do.

If you are already 100% decided, that’s the time that you’ll find a legitimate manpower agency. Beware of illegal recruiters! Ask the agency everything that you need to ask. From placement fee, trainings, requirements, miscellaneous fees and above all, the legitimacy of their POEA license.

One of the most important requirements that you need to secure is your CENOMAR or your marriage certificate. These documents need to be certified by DFA. Remember, couples who are legally married are not allowed to work together in Israel. The Israeli law does not permit couples to live together in Israel as migrant workers.

Your processing will start with your training to acquire the TESDA Certificate followed by your Hebrew lesson. At the same time, your agency will process the certification of your documents with DFA. After that, all your documents will be submitted to the Israeli Embassy in Manila for about 2 weeks.

If your application is approved, you will be given a specific hospital or clinic where you will have your medical examination. If we may suggest, have a pre-medical examination before you decide to apply to work in Israel. Make sure that you are physically and mentally fit.

Your documents will be sent to the agency in Israel for them to find an employer for you. This is where the waiting will start.

When you have the employer, the Israeli embassy will then schedule you for an appearance and stamping of your visa. This is where you will need all the ID’s that the agency requires. You have to prove to the embassy that you are the person you claimed to be by supporting your claim with all the identification and documents listed above.

Remember, if you are married, the embassy will require your spouse to come with you during your appearance.

You will sign your contract at your agency. Paying of placement fee will be handled by them. Terms will be discussed as well as how much salary you’ll receive in Israel. Probably, the name, address and some info about your employer will also be discussed.

You will also need to attend a pre departure seminar or PDOS to brief you about the life abroad and what you should do in case of trouble or emergency.

You will then have your plane ticket with the schedule of your flight.

In Israel, the counterpart of your manpower agency in will take you from the airport and will take care of you until you starts to work with your respective employer.
