The huge demand for qualified staff will almost assure any graduate who obtains their Psychiatric Technician License placement in a career immediately. The first step for enrollment is to accurately complete the Application to the Psychiatric Technician Program . The second step is for you to take the math and English assessment at West Hills Community College. Please call the college ahead of time to confirm the dates and times of these exams. Send copies of your transcripts to the Director of the Psychiatric Technician Program at the address above.
Unofficial transcripts are acceptable.
The transcripts must validate the Math and English you have completed. You do not need to take the assessment if you are submitting transcripts with the appropriate math and English coursework. If you are currently enrolled in either or both of these courses, a letter on college stationary, written and signed, by your instructor indicating enrollment and status can be submitted in lieu of transcripts. Based on receipt of this information, a random draw will determine the 45 students, plus alternates. You will receive status notification by June 15, 2001.
