Personal Support Worker



"My name is Christine Tetlock and I am a student in the Personal Support Worker program. The Personal Support Worker program is a great stepping stone into the world of health care. It teaches you how to be a people person instead of being the person who treats the illness; you are the person who treats the person."

"This program helps you prepare for what you need to learn for the future because it gives you a wide variety of everything that you need to know, so when you go out into the field, you have already seen most of what you have to do."

"What I like best about the teachers is that they are very approachable. They are here to help you; they are your friend as well as your instructor. They make you feel that you can come and talk to them about anything. If you are having a problem or even if you are having a bad day, you just need someone to let you know that you're doing well."

"I recommend the Personal Support Worker program at Durham College to someone who is looking to be a student here. The Personal Support Worker program is extensive in length. They teach you everything that you need to know, so that you're prepared. Durham College is a great college to attend, it's like a second home to a lot of people."
