Advanced Standing PSW Program
If you are a PSW graduate who have been out of the PSW field for an extended period of time, NASIT can help you review and put your training into practice. Our PSW Upgrading program is designed to allow people who are already PSW graduates to have the opportunity to review and relearn their skills, which added to the Revised NACC PSW Program (effective January 1, 2006).
There is an increase in the demand for Personal Support Workers in Ontario. NASIT has 100% placement rate for its PSW program graduates in the Healthcare industry. Most of our graduates are working in Nursing Homes, Retirement Homes and Hospitals. That could be you!
