Confirm the institution, the program's current approval or recognition information, the credential awarded, and who issues it.
What to compare
A PSW course is more than its duration.
Program details differ by institution and may change. A careful comparison looks beyond advertising and checks current information directly with the provider.
Compare curriculum, delivery format, laboratory or practical learning, placement requirements, supervision, and attendance expectations.
Review academic and language requirements, documents, tuition, additional fees, equipment, schedules, and available intakes.
Official reference: review Ontario's current policy directive for Personal Support Worker training programs and verify all details with the institution.

Common questions
Before choosing a PSW program.
Does The Admission Council teach the PSW program?
No. TAC provides independent education counselling and application support. The selected institution delivers the training and issues the credential.
Can you tell me whether a PSW program is recognized?
We can help you locate current official information and prepare verification questions. Students should confirm program status directly with the relevant authority and institution before enrolling.
Do you help people who already live in Canada?
Yes. TAC supports local students, newcomers, and adult learners across Mississauga, Toronto, Brampton, and the GTA who want to compare PSW education options. Each institution must confirm its own admission and placement requirements.
Can you compare PSW courses and programs across Ontario?
Yes. Comparisons can include location, schedule, format, requirements, curriculum, placement information, costs, intakes, and student services, with local support available in Mississauga and Toronto.
Does application support guarantee admission or employment?
No. Admission decisions belong to the institution, and employment outcomes depend on many factors beyond education counselling.
