- Dentists can take an accelerated training course to work as dental assistants.
- Pharmacists can take a short course to work as pharmacy technicians or retrain in clinical research.

How to do it?

Hospital service agents (ASH) work in hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes. They clean the premises and equipment, ensuring their cleanliness and hygiene. They may also disinfect and decontaminate operating rooms. Hospital service agents may also assist healthcare staff with patient transfers, meal distribution, and managing medical supply inventory.

The job of hospital service agent is accessible without a diploma, and is open to all.

You can search for offers on:

Feel free to use these keywords: "service agent", "hospital", "ASH", "medical-social service agent".

The stretcher-bearer transports patients between different departments within a hospital. They must ensure patient safety and be able to administer first aid. They are also responsible for transferring the patient's medical file, transporting samples, and disinfecting their equipment.

There is no mandatory state diploma to work as a stretcher-bearer. The conditions for recruitment depend on the employer.

The employer may require certain training or skills, for example in handling, safety or first aid.

You can search for offers on the France Travail website using the keywords: "stretcher bearer", "stretcher agent".

After a few years of experience and further training, a stretcher-bearer can become a nursing assistant, childcare assistant, ambulance attendant or ambulance driver.

The ambulance attendant assists the paramedic and participates in the transport of patients. They ensure their safety and comfort.

To practice, you must, in particular, have:

  • a valid category B driving licence outside of the probationary period ;
  • a prefectural certificate of fitness to drive an ambulance;
You need to go to your prefecture 's website to find out what steps to take.
  • required vaccinations;
  • a 70-hour ambulance attendant training course;
  • AFGSU 2 (Certificate of Training in Emergency Gestures and Care, level 2).

Go to the France Travail website and enter these keywords "Ambulance attendant" or "medical transport".

The training often lasts 91 hours: 70 hours of ambulance assistant training and 21 hours to obtain the AFGSU 2.

You can contact or consult the website of the training establishment for information on registration and the procedures to follow.

Before registering , contact the training institution to find out about training fees and funding options. You can also seek advice from your France Travail advisor.

After the training, search for offers on the France Travail website with the keywords "ambulance attendant" or "medical transport".

Working as an ambulance attendant makes it easier to get into ambulance driver training.

What happens next?

While you are working in the medical-social sector, you can do a validation of acquired experience (VAE) to obtain a diploma as a nursing assistant, social care assistant or childcare assistant.

You must have at least one year of experience in the relevant field.

The VAE (Validation of Acquired Experience) allows you to have your professional experience acquired in your country of origin recognized in France. The process can take several months, sometimes up to a year, depending on the time you can dedicate to it and the difficulties encountered.

After the VAE (Validation of Acquired Experience), depending on your experience, you can obtain one of the following diplomas at a bac + 1 level:

If you cannot obtain these qualifications through VAE, you must undertake another training course.
