Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this retraining program for?

It is suitable for domestic helpers who need to strengthen practical household skills or adapt to an employer’s specific work requirements.

Can I choose the training topics?

Yes. Training focus can be discussed based on your helper’s job scope and the areas where improvement is needed.

Is retraining suitable for a newly hired maid?

Yes. Retraining can be useful for newly hired helpers who are still adjusting to a new household, different routines, or employer expectations.

Can retraining help with childcare or elderly care?

Yes. Guidance may include practical support for childcare or elderly-care routines. However, specialised medical care, nursing, or clinical duties are outside the scope of basic domestic helper training.

How long does the program take?

The duration depends on the helper’s current skill level, the training areas selected, and the household’s requirements. Our team can advise after understanding your situation.

Does training guarantee immediate improvement?

Progress varies from person to person. Retraining is designed to provide clearer methods, expectations, and practical guidance; continued employer feedback and reasonable adjustment time also play an important role.

What if the helper has communication or adjustment issues?

If the main concern relates to communication, expectations, or relationship matters, our Maid Counselling & Support Services may also be helpful.
