Once an applicant has submitted their online PSW Application Form, they will be reviewed and notified for a potential interview with our PSW instructor. Interviews are currently scheduled to take place during the second week of July 2024 at the Lindsay Adult and Alternate Education Centre.

After interviews, successful applicants will then be required to complete a registration form to secure their registration spot in the program. There is no program cost, as it is fully funded.
