What does the course for orderlies (and whatever the female term is) train them to do, and how long is it? See detail.

I guess in some parts of the world Nursing Assistant, is not the same as Nurses’ Aide, (“orderlies” the term for males). Where they do have the distinction, how long is the course/ training and what is it that they train them to do, and what are they not trained to do?

Nursing Assistants need licencing requirements. Nurses’s aides do not. They are required to take the training which is a few months long. Other than this site?
“Here is one Required Education”

“Orderlies can enter their profession with a high school diploma and receive training once hired. There are no licensing requirements for orderlies. Some employers may expect orderlies to have CPR training so earning a basic life support certificate may be required.”
