Yes! You do not need your high school diploma to get your PSW certificate through a school board program. However, many employers and college programs require an OSSD (Ontario Secondary School Diploma). A school board PSW program is the perfect opportunity to earn your high school and a career certificate at the same time.
You can earn your OSSD along with your PSW through a three-step process that makes it easier for you.
Our schools can award you high school credits through PLAR (Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition) for your work and life experience.
Some of the courses you take for PSW can also apply to your high school.
Finally, you can take any additional credits you need at the same school.
