    I am pleased to announce that at least one of my channel's followers has secured a place of study at YSAO in Iisalmi. Additionally, two have been accepted into Riveria in Joensuu, and two into Savo Vocational College in Kuopio.
    I want to encourage all of you to apply for what you dream of, whenever the time is right. It's important to have goals and to dream, and maybe one beautiful day, they will come true for you. 😍🙏🏾🏆

      Hello, thank you for your message. I will indeed continue to provide free vocational training programs that are open to everyone. Currently, such programs are only available in a few schools and select fields.
      Additionally, I will offer higher education courses going forward; however, these will incur charges for non-EU and EEA citizens. On the other hand, higher education courses taught in Finnish and Swedish are free for students of all nationalities.
      It is possible to start with a vocational qualification and subsequently pursue higher education in Finnish or Swedish at no cost. This process generally takes time, but some individuals have a knack for quickly mastering a new language. Therefore, it is not entirely impossible if one is sufficiently passionate.

      Could you clarify what "depants" refers to? If it includes your spouse or children, you'll need sufficient funds to support them for residence permits. Another scenario is if your spouse plans to study in Finland too. Note that a study permit and a residence permit are different, and a study permit alone doesn't guarantee residence if the necessary funds, approximately 6,720 euros for a year, aren't in your account.

It will later expand to offer a total of six programs. Another school is introducing a new English-language trainee, welcoming international applicants, expected to start within the next 1-2 years.

      Yes, there are some, but they are available only in Finnish or Swedish. In vocational education, there are only a few qualifications offered in English.
      In universities of applied sciences, there are significantly more options to study in English. However, these programs are subject to tuition fees for applicants from outside the EU and EEA.
      Only the courses mentioned in the video are primarily in English, and the programs highlighted in the video accept applicants from outside the EU and EEA.

      Getting a job is not easy for an international student. It depends on what you are willing to do and what your previous education and work experience are. Additionally, it is generally easier to find a job in the Helsinki metropolitan area. In other parts of Finland, it is more difficult but possible. In smaller cities, it can be very difficult to find a job.
      You can bring your family to Finland, but your salary and savings in your account must also cover your family. So, you need more savings and income the more family members you have in your household. If I remember correctly, you also need to apply for a residence permit for your family members in Finland.

      This might be the closest training to what you were looking for.
      To become a care assistant, one typically undergoes vocational training at a secondary education institution by completing a program based on modules from the Vocational Qualification in Social and Health Care (practical nurse).
      The program entails 60 competence points and usually spans about one year.
      However, it should be noted that this is a training program, not a formal qualification.
      The training is available in Finnish and Swedish.
