ONLINE FAST-TRACKED CAREGIVER CERTIFICATE
What can I do with a Caregiver Certificate?
Caregivers can be employed by private households, private care agencies, long term care facilities, not-for-profit charitable agencies, home care, within the community, and assisted living facilities and lodges. You can also be self employed.
Program Details
Caregivers help family or friends with challenges due to work,
illness, disability or aging. This program will prepare you for either
care of children or the elderly job roles.
Home child caregiver provides care for the physical and social wellbeing
and development of children, assist parents with childcare
and may assist with household duties. They provide care primarily
in their own homes or in the children's homes.
As the population is aging, people are living longer with illness and
disability. As care-needs grow, we rely on caregivers to fill in the
gaps. Caregivers are also provided with strategies and suggestions
for developing strong networks in the community and with other
caregivers.

In my two years at CIC I have not only thoroughly enjoyed my course but have gotten really involved in many of the student-run clubs and societies on campus.
I chose to study at CIC because it is the most acclaimed university in CANADA.
