Delivered part-time, this certificate has students join an interprofessional health-care team supporting individuals and families across long-term, community and hospital care settings. Study progresses from foundational engagement to entry-to-practice readiness, covering activities of daily living such as personal care, home management, nutrition and family responsibilities guided by a client's care plan, plus support for clients showing responsive behaviours, facing injury risk or needing end-of-life care. Experiential learning is built in throughout so students apply what they learn directly, and provincially recognized certificates are awarded on completion of these areas of study.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This part-time continuing-education program requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), or equivalent, or applicants 19 years of age or older, plus Grade 12 compulsory English at the C or U level, or Conestoga's Preparatory Communications (COMM1251). The page does not state a standardized English-language test score. Applicants should obtain a clear Vulnerable Sector Screening police check before applying, since access to work-integrated learning placements requires it and students cannot complete the program without the practicum. The program also requires immunizations (MMR, Tdap, varicella, hepatitis B), TB testing, First Aid/CPR certification through Conestoga, and possible seasonal flu and COVID-19 vaccination as directed by placement organizations.
