"Opiekun Osób Starszych" is Polish for carer for older people. Polish adult education providers offer courses under this name. As an example, the Stowarzyszenie Wspierania Edukacji i Rynku Pracy (Łomża, Ełk branch) describes on its website a course of 50 hours of training and workshops that ends with a certificate in Polish, German or English.
This is separate from the school-based occupation "opiekun osoby starszej". It appears in the Polish classification of occupations (Klasyfikacja zawodów i specjalności) under code 341202 and is marked there as an occupation of the vocational school system. A state-defined curriculum exists for it (qualification SPO.02, Journal of Laws 2019, item 991).
