Health Care Assistant Program
As a Health Care Assistant (HCA), you will be the primary caregiver, helping elderly individuals maintain a level of independence and improving their quality of life. After graduating from our 27-week Health Care Assistant diploma program, you will find employment in:
- Hospitals and community agencies
- Residential, extended and intermediate care facilities
- Home support agencies
- Adult care centre for seniors
- Assisted living residences
Our Health Care Assistant (HCA) program follows the government-developed curriculum. Incorporating theory and hands-on training in a high-fidelity simulation lab, this six-month program prepares you to support older adults in independent, assisted, extended and palliative care.
For some, this will be a career for life. Others may decide to further their careers and become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) through our LPN diploma program.
