Programs and Academic Pathways

Certificate and Diploma Courses

The academy offers a wide range of short-term healthcare programs that allow students to enter the workforce quickly. Certificate courses such as Medical Dresser (11 months), Emergency Medical Technician (8 months), and Medical Nursing Assistant/GDA (6 months) require only a 10th or 12th-grade pass and provide intensive practical training. Diploma tracks like Medical Laboratory Technician, Radiology Technician, Operation Theatre Technician, and Dialysis Technician extend the learning experience with deeper clinical exposure and are ideal for those with a 12th-grade science background. Each program is structured with a carefully balanced mix of theory, simulation lab practice, and supervised hospital internships.

Degree Programs: B.Voc and M.Voc

For students seeking a more comprehensive academic credential, GD Goenka Healthcare Academy provides Bachelor of Vocation (B.Voc) degrees in high-growth specializations. Programs include Medical Laboratory Technology, Radiology and Medical Imaging Technology, Operation Theater Technology, Optometry Technology, Cardiac Care Technology, and Hospital Management. At the postgraduate level, M.Voc courses in Hospital Management, Medical Lab Technology, and Radiology Technology enable working professionals to upskill and move into leadership roles. These UGC-recognized degree programs embed multiple exit points and strong industry linkages, making them a practical alternative to conventional MBBS or nursing paths.

State-of-the-Art Facilities and Infrastructure

Walk into the Bamboo Flat center and you step into a modern learning environment designed to mirror real hospital settings. The academy features fully equipped medical laboratories, a simulation lab, a dedicated library and study area, and smart classrooms with audio-visual aids. Students practice phlebotomy on training arms, operate ECG machines, and learn patient-handling techniques using hospital-grade equipment. The on-site reception and counseling center provides a welcoming first point of contact for prospective students and their families, while the partnership with Dr Ritika's Diagnostic Solutions ensures that genuine diagnostic and clinical exposure is woven into daily training.

Why Students Choose GD Goenka Healthcare Academy

Students from across the islands consistently highlight personalized attention and supportive faculty as the top reasons they enroll. From the very first counseling session—offered free to all applicants—the team helps young people navigate the often-confusing landscape of post-12th career options. Testimonials from local graduates like Disha Majumder, Rashmi Toppo, and Vikranth Kumar speak to the transformative power of the academy: they arrived unsure of their future and left with nationally recognized certifications, hands-on skills, and immediate job placements. The academy also offers flexible financing, including zero-interest EMI options, ensuring that tuition costs never become a barrier to ambition.

Serving Bamboo Flat and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands

While GD Goenka Healthcare Academy operates over 80 centers across India, its presence in Garacharama, Sri Vijaya Puram, fills a vital regional void. Until recently, island residents seeking certified paramedical training had to relocate to Chennai, Kolkata, or Delhi at great expense and personal upheaval. Now they can study close to home, in a facility that understands local healthcare dynamics while delivering a curriculum benchmarked to national standards. The center actively collaborates with neighborhood hospitals, diagnostic labs, and ambulance services to create internship slots, and many graduates go on to serve in government and private healthcare facilities throughout the islands.

Placements and Industry Collaborations

The academy’s 99% placement success rate is not a marketing slogan—it is the result of deep, ongoing partnerships with over 200 healthcare employers. Hospitals, diagnostic chains, blood banks, and nursing homes regularly recruit from the GD Goenka network because they trust the quality of training. In Bamboo Flat, the proximity to Dr Ritika's Diagnostic Solutions and other local healthcare providers creates a direct pipeline from classroom to clinic. Career guidance workshops, mock interviews, and resume-building sessions are integrated into the final semester of every program, giving graduates a competitive edge in the job market.
