Continuing Care Assistant (CCA) Oxford International College Halifax

Program Description

Continuing care assistants (CCA) are in high demand in Nova Scotia.To become a CCA, you must successfully complete a CCA program through a licensed education provider and pass the CCA Certification Exam. Programs are offered at NSCC, Université Sainte-Anne and some private career colleges in Nova Scotia. Work-and-learn programs (in-class and on-site learning) are available. Work-and-learn programs, that combine in-class learning (3 days a week) and on-site learning (2 days a week in a continuing care setting) are also available. Programs are available throughout the province (start dates vary). And some programs can be completed in 32 weeks. If you have lots of experience providing care (in Nova Scotia, or in another province or country), you may also be able to get CCA certification through the Recognized Prior Learning (RPL) Program. The RPL Program helps you get credit for significant care-related on-the-job training, formal education and life experiences that you already have.
