The Certificate of Personal Support Worker at Cambrian College is a vital program within Social & Behavioural Science, preparing students to provide essential care and support to individuals in healthcare, long-term care, and community settings. Because of an aging population, shorter hospital stays, and a lack of specialists, the PSW profession is in great demand now. Unlike regular courses, we prepare you for a job in as little as 8 months. Applying lessons from class in real-life training helps you gain the knowledge to support the needs of people living in care places. The program provides classroom instruction with hands-on clinical placements, covering topics such as personal care, communication, infection control, and mental health. Cambrian’s strong reputation in health education, experienced faculty, and practical training ensure graduates are job-ready and in demand.
