Knowing that you are making a difference to people who need
you is what makes the PSW career choice very rewarding for
caring individuals with excellent people skills. The growing
need for medical services by an aging population and an
increased focus by government on home and long-term care
are fuelling demand for trained, knowledgeable and caring
Personal Support Workers.
Personal Support Worker Program Objective
The Personal Support Worker Certificate program is designed
to provide our students with the necessary training and
education to pursue a career in the traditional nursing assistant
role in health care environments. Students learn practical
support-related skills such as assisting with routine daily living
activities, personal care, mobility, safety, medications, medical
individuals and their rights is a central theme of the instruction
for the Personal Support Worker. Students will acquire the
necessary skills to respond to the emotional and physical
needs of patients, residents and/or clients who are under their
care.
Learning from the curriculum approved by the National
Association of Career Colleges (NACC), the students will be
working toward passing the national uniform final exam
administered by NACC at the end of their program. Passing
this exam is a PSW program requirement.
A clinical placement combined with practical classroom
instruction ensures you graduate with confidence in yourself
and in your practical skills.
Personal Support Worker Clinical Placements
Canadian SciTech College has an excellent working
relationship with various organizations for clinical placement.
During the program the students will supplement their in-class
training with an “on the job” clinical placement arranged by
Canadian SciTech College. The placement provides an
opportunity to apply the lessons learned in the classroom, gain
confidence, and open doors to future employment.
Successful completion of the clinical placement is necessary
for graduation from the Personal Support Worker program.
