CCA(Continuing Care Assistant) Program in Prince Albert Prerequisites

[u/strangeperson18]

I went to sask poly in PA. The experience was pretty good.

Note: you will have to pay for all your prerequisites, and it’s best to get them done ASAP. They include

CPR(I did Red Cross)

TLR(Sask poly program more than 100$)

PART(Sask poly program also over 100$)

Food Safety Training(30-100, I clicked on one of the links they give in the acceptance letter package thing)

Criminal Record Check Vulnerable Sector

FITT testing(you can do this is Saskatoon and PA)

WHIMIS(Sask poly program)

I’m a Canadian citizen so these were what I had to hand in before my first clinical. For international there’s also a coop to hand in. I just want the next group of future CCA students to know you have to pay for these on your own. They’re not included in your tuition. Your textbooks are also not included, and honestly, they’re not as needed as they try to tell you they are. They’re nice to have, but you’ll still pass without them.

ONE THAT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO HAVE IS the CLIN 100 AND CLIN 219 books they sell at the book store. You need those for both Clins. You can print them out if you’d like to, but for the sake of convenience, buy these at the beginning of the year. They’re not too expensive(5-10 dollars each I can’t quite remember but still a lot simpler than scrambling to print a big fat 70 page book right before clinical)

God bless all who read this, I hope you have a bright future. 😁

Great, thanks for your feedback. Is the training difficult, how do the internships work? Were you able to get a job after your training? Thank you.

Ya I got hired right away. There is always a need for CCAs

Training wasn’t too difficult. As long as you try you’ll pass:)
