NACC PERSONAL SUPPORT
WORKER EQUIVALENCY
ASSESSMENTS
It is with great pleasure that we an-
nounce that our NACC PSW Equiva-
lency Assessments are in place and
ready to assist.
Up until recently, individuals with a
PSW-type credential earned in Canada
but from outside of the Province of
Ontario were having difficulties with
employment, due to the credential
“
not being up to the standards”.
Some of these individuals were forced
to go back to school to repeat some of
their training in order to obtain a PSW
credential simply because there was
not a body that was providing inter-
provincial equivalency assessments.
If an individual had obtained a PSW-
type credential from outside of Canada
he or she had the opportunity to have
the credentials assessed. For example,
World Education Services provides
such assessments. However, they do
not assess inter-provincial credentials.
With the creation of the Ontario PSW
Registry, NACC saw an opportunity to
assist such individuals by implement-
ing the NACC Equivalency Assess-
ments. Individuals who have obtained
a PSW-type credential in Canada can
apply by sending the appropriate doc-
uments to NACC, and we will assess
the equivalency to the NACC PSW
Program Standards.
The NACC PSW Program is one of
the three programs in Ontario that
have been approved by the Ministry
of Health and Long-Term Care – along
with the OCSA and the Public Colleges
of Ontario.
