Testimonials

“I am very happy to have finished my RCA/CHW program at Drake Medox College in 2008. At the beginning, I did not have confidence because I didn't have any background in healthcare and my English was not very good. After taking the program, I met two good teachers, Heather and Ada, who both were very kind, patient, and professional. Not only did they teach me knowledge, but also they often encouraged and assisted me throughout the whole program. They gave me confidence and made me improve very quickly. Meanwhile the program really taught us the skills that are needed to succeed in this job. The program as Drake Medox College was really excellent. Before, I did not see myself as someone who could find a job in a facility easily. But to my surprise, highly recommended by my teacher shortly after graduating from Drake Medox College, I have got the job at The Madison Care Centre. I enjoy the work and love providing services for elderly people.” 2008 Graduate Celia H.

 

“I had a certificate in the healthcare field but wanted to upgrade myself and get a full diploma. The program I was in helped me a lot and gave me a lot of confidence. Being a Community Health Worker is challenging work yet very satisfying. You need to be both mentally and physically fit, as you are helping people who have many different problems. I mostly work with the elderly and find it so rewarding to know I help people to stay in their own homes. It is a really good career and you also enjoy the people you are helping, as they all have such interesting lives.” 2005 Graduate

 

“I was a nanny in Singapore but didn’t see myself working with children forever, so the Community Health Worker job was perfect for me. I took the Drake Medox program and got my diploma in 2004. The instruction was really good and everything was so clearly explained that it was very easy to learn the program. I work full time with Drake Medox, and they are an excellent company to work for. I mostly work in the homes of people and enjoy the work and just love working with the elderly. . I really love it!” Graduate Marie F

"My name is John Brunskill and I came here from the UK 1 year ago. I attended the Drake Medox College RCA/CHW Diploma Program to increase my knowledge and skills in this caring profession. I thoroughly enjoyed the learning process. I found the theory sessions/modules very informative, useful, and enjoyable. The 5 week practicum experience was interesting and I learned to use specialized equipment and apply my theory training on wonderful Resident's. I found the teaching staff very helpful and supportive. I would recommend this program to anyone, thank you Drake Medox College."
