Just finished my course with the health care aide academy and easily passed my provincial exam. The staff are great, and, if you need assistance with anything, whether academic or the personal day to day that you have outside of school, they are willing to help, or seek out resources to help. They strive for you and want you to succeed.

This is the most professional school I ever attended. The staff are very knowledgeable and will help any time of day or night. You will build a great relationship with them all. I spent 25 years in the military and didnt know what to do after I retired. I have done several jobs and doing the health care aide course has been one of the most rewarding jobs I have ever had. At 54 and almost 55 years of age I thought I was too old to do a new career. Boy was I ever wrong. I am so thankful for the opportunity to learn at the Health Care Aide academy. Knowing what I know now I should have done it

I have heard wonderful things about the Academy.. so much so I wanted to look into enrolling myself so I could obtain my health care aide certificate here.. however, I have made many attempts to get in contact with the school to get more information and not once has anyone returned my emails or phone calls...Disappointing to say the least.
