  The objective of the PSW Certificate Program is to help students master the personal and occupational skills needed to be an exceptional Personal Support Worker. The program is designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to provide personal care and home management services to communities and institutional settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, long-term care facilities and private homes. Students must be 19 years of age on the first day of class or have completed their OSSD. Applicants may request to write a test if they do not meet the academic requirements. The test takes about an hour in multiple choice formats. Our success and our students success depends upon the quality of our students, so we also screen to make sure that you are a compassionate and caring individual looking for a way to make a living that is both personally and professionally rewarding.
