Students who began this 1-year Personal Support Worker program in Fall 2022 are eligible to receive a $2,000 tuition award.
PSW students who began their studies in Winter 2022 are also eligible for this tuition award and will receive a clinical placement stipend upon the successful completion of their placement.
For the Fall 2022 semester, this program is being delivered in person.
In just one year, you can develop the skills you need to begin a satisfying career helping in a long-term care facility, supportive housing, home care, adult daycare and palliative care. All of our graduates have found employment in the field, and employers are consistently satisfied with the personal support workers they hire from Sheridan.
Your training will include 350 hours in two practicum settings: a long-term care facility and a community setting of your choice. Sheridan will arrange your placements for you, and a faculty member will supervise your long-term care placement. Many students receive job offers from their placement employers.
All professors teaching in the Personal Support Worker program hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree in nursing. They’re also heavily engaged in the personal care field and bring their experience and passion for personal support work to the classroom. You'll learn from them in our dedicated and well-equipped lab space at Hazel McCallion Campus in Mississauga.
Before you begin your field placement, there are some certifications and documents that you'll need to obtain, at your own expense. We'll provide you with more information about these requirements once you're admitted into the program.
Effective April 25, 2022, Sheridan College no longer requires proof of COVID vaccination to attend campus.
However, in the PSW program, our students participate in clinical placements in long-term care homes and the community. At this time, the Long-Term Care Home COVID-19 Immunization Policy requires that individuals, including students, must have met the immunization requirements.
The requirements for our placement partners include one of the following:
We strongly recommend that PSW students get their vaccinations as outlined above before the semester starts. A student without the proper vaccines will not be able to complete their required placement in long-term care and this may impact ability to graduate from the program.

Sheridan's Honours Bachelor of Interior Design curriculum and its delivery are designed to address current social issues pertinent to the design industry. This enables students to broaden their understanding of their place within the world.
Fundamental to the vision of the program is the balance of creative and conceptual thinking with the technical and business aspects of the profession. Courses follow a logical sequence with the degree of difficulty building vertically from first year to fourth year.
The various streams provide a range of design problems building in size and scope, from simple to complex in various design sectors. The curriculum builds on fundamental introductions that ensures a strong foundation for students to apply additional more complex learning and skills developed later in the program.
Studio projects are designed to mimic professional practice and require applied theory, creativity and strong technical knowledge. Curriculum is also connected horizontally across each semester to help support the learning in courses happening simultaneously. This demonstrates the inter-connected knowledge and skills required to practice in the industry.
The program provides many opportunities that expose students to practicing professionals and professional practice. Industry leaders and representatives from professional associations like ARIDO and IDC are invited into the classroom as jurors and guest speakers throughout the four years. The internship also provides professional design work experience for students before they enter their final year of study.
The curriculum is student-centric and designed to equip students with the skills that are required for entry-level design positions and advanced study. Manual skills such as drafting, drawing and model making are developed alongside digital skills using current software. Students are also well-versed in the applicable building codes and regulations required to practice in Ontario. Students are exposed to valuable research skills and encouraged to continue their learning past graduation.
Sheridan's Honours Bachelor of Interior Design program aspires to:
