In only 45 weeks of in-class and weekend sessions, you’ll have the skills and knowledge needed to begin your career.

A career as a Personal Support Worker takes heart, compassion and a dedication to helping those most in need. It also takes a highly specialized set of dynamic technical and interpersonal skills. If you’re interested in a career that is personally satisfying, this program is for you.

You’ll begin the program by creating a strong foundation in the fundamentals of personal support. You’ll learn about health and wellness, the human body and how it functions, along with examining mental health issues and life transition theories. In addition to classroom instruction, you’ll also complete placements in long-term care facilities as well as a community placement, where you’ll get valuable experience providing care to clients. This means that you’ll begin your career with a highly developed set of experiences to draw on as you enter the workforce. This program also utilizes simulation learning.

When you graduate, you’ll be ready to work with clients with clearly identified needs, helping to make them comfortable and keeping them safe. You’ll provide personal care for clients in retirement homes, long-term care facilities, hospitals and in the home.

It was a great Course but it has a lot of challenges that you’ll have to give your maximum but you will enjoy it and learn a lot about Lighting and editing.

But if you’re choosing this course to build a career, it may not work in London Ontario as i know over 30 Students graduated with Great GPA and won Awards still can’t find jobs.

If you really love Photography and want to get a great career as myself i’ve been working into Cinematography,Photography and currently has 8 years of experienced into Media field still no luck in London. The course is great but not in the right place. Search For colleges or Universities in GTA or Montreal areas am sure it will work after you graduate you can have many opportunities there.
