About Us
Fernwood Institute trains healthcare workers and places its own graduates directly into home care — one institute covering the full journey from classroom to client.
Fernwood Institute Limited is based in Ngombe, Lusaka, training students in Health Care Assistance, Psychosocial Counselling, and HIV Management. What sets Fernwood apart is that training does not end at graduation — our certified graduates go on to be placed into real home care roles through our Home Care Giving Services, giving students a direct path from classroom to paid work, and giving families confidence that their caregiver was trained, not just hired.
You will know them by the maroon uniform, the ID badge, and the seal on the certificate.
Why Fernwood
Certified & verified
Every caregiver we place completed our in-house training and holds a Fernwood certificate.
Trained in-house
We do not outsource training — the same institute that certifies also places, so quality stays consistent.
Transparent process
One flat K50 application or assessment fee — no hidden costs before you are matched.
