Our Gold Standard program includes:

Students who successfully complete all requirements receive:
- A CCS Care Academy Diploma
- A transcript of marks
- NACC/PSW national certification
- A national certification certificate
- A registered NACC/PSW card number
Students find their own placements with guidance from the program. This process helps them develop the practical skills needed to approach employers, secure opportunities, and search for work after graduation.
Placements may be paid or volunteer, and a successful placement may lead to future employment.
The self-directed program can be completed in one to three years and is available to eligible students in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
