FAQ
Can I bridge
to an LPN or RN program?
Your RCA/Community Health Worker
training is a valuable stepping stone for a career in nursing.
However, please check with the school or institution you are thinking
of attending as to the ability to transfer credits.
Can I transfer credits
to the RCA program from another institution?
If you were trained elsewhere
in healthcare, for example as a nurse outside of Canada, we offer
you a “Prior Learning Assessment”. We use this assessment
to determine if you qualify for our “ACCELERATED Program” or our Health Skills Connect Challenge, which may allow you to achieve B.C. Certification as an RCA/CHW through an expedited challenge process.
Does your college follow the Provincial HCA curriculum?
Currently in January 2010 Drake Medox College in the only healthcare education facility that is teaching the new Provincial HCA standards and exceeding these standards due to our connection to the service industry.
Is the RCA Diploma recognized
in other regions or provinces or countries?
The Drake Medox RCA/Community
Health Worker Diploma Program is accredited by The Private Career
Training Institutions Agency (PCTIA) of BC. Graduates have the
skills to be Community Health Workers in other jurisdictions,
however there are no national standards for this program, so you
will have to check with the jurisdiction in question about requirements
for employment.
Do you offer job placement assistance?
Job opportunities are available through Drake Medox Heath Services. In addition, we have forged relationships with numerous heathcare facilities and agencies, and we seek out and advise you of job openings/opportunities as you complete your program.
