Overview

College Certificate - Personal Support Worker

The Personal Support Worker (PSW) program is a two-semester Ontario College Certificate that provides you with the knowledge and practical skills to offer safe, supportive care to clients in private homes, long-term care and acute care facilities. 

As interprofessional health care team members, PSWs assist with daily living and provide person-centred care to individuals with various health conditions and/or individuals experiencing responsive behaviours. 

Through theory and hands-on lab classes at Georgian College, you learn how to provide clients with a comfortable, safe environment while assisting with personal care and home management. 

Two clinical placements in long-term care and other healthcare settings provide training in the delivery and documentation of care and expand your ability to provide holistic, compassionate care throughout the lifespan to clients and their families.
