Personal Support Worker Certificate Program Overview
Our 31-week program prepares you for a high-demand career path as a Personal Support Worker in Ontario’s healthcare sector. With financial incentives from the Government of Ontario, there is no better time to pursue a rewarding path with strong employment opportunities and longevity. Our program provides the skills and training needed to provide personal care and companionship to seniors, persons with disabilities and convalescent clients by assisting with medications, personal hygiene, household management, nutrition and more. Our core curriculum is complemented by workshops related to your new career path, including Gentle Persuasion Approach (GPA), Intramuscular/Subcutaneous Insulin Administration (IM/SQ), CPR and First Aid training. A 12-week field-related placement puts your skills into practice and may qualify you for a $5,400 stipend.

PSW training is also available at one on our Employer Training Sites. At these locations you will receive the same curriculum learning, but will enhance your skills further with a 12-week clinical placement at one of the partner long-term care facilities (currently being offered in Norwood and Lindsay)

Government Incentives
The Ontario government offers a stipend of up to $5,400 while you complete your placement, and a $10,000 incentive if you agree to a 12-month commitment to working in a long-term care home or a home and community service provider. An additional $10,000 is available to those working in rural, remote or northern locations. Contact us for more information.
