Course Overview

Personal support workers play an essential role in the healthcare industry, working in private homes or healthcare facilities to help provide patients with care and comfort. Our program train students to work with other healthcare professionals to provide a number of services for the elderly, disabled, and ill, to help them rehabilitate or simply live their lives in the most comfortable manner possible.

This one-year certificate program is created by the National Association of Career Colleges (NACC) and is designed to teach our students how to successfully provide care and assistance to clients with the intention of living satisfying lives in their communities and in institutions. The courses combine practical skills training with the communication, patient care, and support techniques that professionals require in an industry that involves caring for the sick. During the course students will study physiology, anatomy, and alterations to human mental and physical health, and complement this knowledge with patient care techniques, such as infection control, administering medication, and much more. Students conduct lab work and have a clinical placement to practice their skills. Also, the student will learn techniques relating to specific patient types, such as those with cognitive disorders or those requiring palliative care. Conflict management and family communication skills are also part of the curriculum.
