Clinical / Practical Learning

Where the classroom meets real care.

We believe learning should not end at the classroom door. Our program connects classroom theory with supervised practical experience in live care environments.

From Theory to Practice

Classroom learning, applied with confidence

Our NACC Personal Support Worker 2022 (PSW) program combines classroom instruction with practical training in live care environments at long-term care and community sectors.

Students build the essential caring skills that employers are looking for — guided by instructors and supervised by experienced placement partners so that knowledge becomes confident, compassionate practice.

Supervised practice

Skills are demonstrated, practised, and refined under guidance before and during placement.

Long-term care & community

Placement settings span LTC homes and community care, reflecting real workplaces.

Competency-based

You progress when you can safely and compassionately perform each skill — not just on paper.

Classroom learning, applied with confidence

Your knowledge will help you understand what to do. Your skills will help you understand how to do it. But your compassion will help you understand why it matters. Clinical learning at OCHCPT develops all three — together.
