For details on how Sheridan programs will be delivered in upcoming semesters, please review our Fall 2022 Program Delivery Modes.
Tuition and other fees are covered — this six-month program is fully funded by the Government of Ontario in order to address a shortage of personal support workers (PSWs) in the public health-care system. The funding covers tuition fees, ancillary fees and field placement stipends for eligible students.
Apply now through ontariocolleges.ca to start July 4 or August 8, 2022.
Labs will be held in person at our Hazel McCallion Campus in Mississauga. All other courses will be online.
In six months, you can develop the skills you need to secure satisfying employment in long-term care facilities, supportive housing, home care, adult daycare and palliative care. You'll receive the same training as students in our one-year Personal Support Worker program, but at a faster pace. Your PSW certificate can also qualify you for entry into our PSW to Practical Nursing pathway.
Most courses will be delivered remotely, with the exception of Skills Lab. During the Lab course, you'll learn hands-on skills in our well-equipped PSW lab at our Hazel McCallion Campus in Mississauga. You'll be supported by expert professors who understand and appreciate the critical role that PSWs play in the Ontario health-care system. Theory courses will prepare you for your full-time placement in a long-term care home or community setting, where you'll consolidate all that you have learned.
