Certificate in Health Care Assistant

Program Overview

The Health Care Assistant program provides opportunities to develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to provide professional care to the elderly and those facing other health or illness challenges. This 29 week, full-time program combines theory, lab study and practice experience. 

Health Care Assistants receive direction and supervision from other health professionals such as Licensed Practical Nurses and Registered Nurses.  Student practice experiences are an integral part of the program. Clinical practice experiences occur outside of the college setting. While the majority of practice placements are in centres close to CMTN campus communities, it may be necessary to utilize agencies in other Northwest communities.  Students must arrange their own transportation to and from practice experience sites and assume related costs.
