Healthcare Assistant in Morocco 2026: training, salary and career prospects

The healthcare assistant supports patients in the activities of daily living: hygiene, comfort, feeding, mobility and monitoring of the general condition. They work in close collaboration with the nurse, whom they assist day to day, and play a key role in the well-being and dignity of the people in their care.

Their duties vary by place of practice: in a hospital setting, they provide basic care and prepare patients; in home care, they become a reassuring point of reference for the person and their family. It is a profession of closeness, demanding on a human level but profoundly rewarding.

The training runs over one year and leads to a State Diploma. It alternates theoretical courses (anatomy, hygiene, care procedures, communication) with clinical placements in partner healthcare facilities, for real hands-on practice from the very first months.

Admission is open from the 3rd year of secondary school, with no baccalaureate requirement, which makes it accessible to a wide audience. Tuition remains affordable, and the IMTA team supports every candidate, from the enrolment application to their entry into working life.
