Learn More About the Health Care Assistant Program at Western Community College

Not everybody loves their job. This is generally because they work in corporations and have to endure the daily grind that amounts to very little and leaves them feeling dissatisfied. However, those who do love their jobs often tend to work in one industry. And that industry is health care.

Working in health care can be so rewarding for the many different professions in it. We all can relate to this, because helping others helps us to feel good ourselves. And one of the best ways to help others is to assist in caring for one of the most important things to every person on the planet: our health.

At Western Community College, our health care programs are extremely popular, due to the job satisfaction that comes with working in this industry. Sure, it is tough, but it is also seriously rewarding to know that you are helping better peoples’ health.

That is why we offer the Health Care Assistant Program at our community college. This program enables people to become qualified for roles that will seem them assisting nurses, or working in care facilities for the elderly, or those with additional needs. The course includes academic elements that take place in classrooms and labs, as well as practical elements in work placements. There are job opportunities all over the health care industry for those qualified through our health care assistant program.

The program admission requirements for our health care assistant program includes a proficiency in English, to allow our health care assistants to safely communicate with patients and colleagues. This may be a Canadian high school minimum grade 10 completion in English, or meeting a mininum test score in a Standardized English Language Proficiency Test, if English is not your native language.

Once accepted into the Health Care Assistant Program, you will partake in a variety of courses. These included practice skills, communication skills, and caring for individuals and groups experiencing mental or physical health challenges, over the course of 24 or 37 weeks, depending on whether the student is undertaking the full time or part time Health Care Assistant Program.
