1. Health Assessment & Immunization Form: Accepted applicants must complete a Health Assessment and Immunization Form prior to registration.  See here for important notes on Immunization requirements.

2. A current Standard First Aid and CPR Level "C" certificate is required prior to registration.

3. Police Records Check: You can obtain this by appearing in person at your local police station and producing 1 piece of photo ID and 1 piece of non-photo identification that includes your date of birth. This process may take six to eight weeks to complete. Successful completion of clinical placement is a requirement for graduation from the Personal Support Worker program. Agencies that provide placement opportunities require you to have a clear Police Records Check for Service with the Vulnerable Sector (PRCSVS). Your acceptance for placement is at the discretion of the agency. If you register in the program without a clear PRCSVS and as a result are unable to participate in placement, you will not be able to graduate.

To be eligible for placement, you must submit proof of a clear PRCSVS, which will be retained on your departmental file and used only for purposes related to your placement. You will be required to disclose the contents of the PRCSVS, including all notations, to the placement agencies.

It is your responsibility to obtain the PRCSVS from your local Police Department prior to the deadline identified by your Department and to pay any associated costs. It may take several weeks to obtain this documentation; please submit your application as early as possible. Should you require further information, please contact the Program Chair.
