Are you looking for an exciting profession in the healthcare industry? If you are, then enrolling in a health care assistant program may be just what you need to take your career to new heights. In our society, the role of a health care assistant (HCA) is essential as it offers the care and assistance required to improve the quality of life of those who are aged and disabled.

When building a career as a Health Care Assistant (HCA), it is vital to have a strong foundation with the right education. As a result, before choosing a health care assistant training college, you must ask as many questions as possible to learn precisely what their educational and training programs have to offer. At Gateway College, we specialize in several healthcare training programs and want to arm you with accurate information about them so you can make the right choice for your career. To do this, we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions about the Gateway College programs.

If you’re looking for a job that offers you security and the satisfaction of helping others, considering a career as a health care assistant is a great idea. Health care assistant professionals are in huge demand across Canada due to the significant number of elderly. Similarly, as the younger generation is occupied with intense work schedules and household chores, taking care of their sick, disabled, and aging loved ones becomes a big challenge. This translates to a high demand for health care assistance, which means consistent job opportunities and appropriate pay for this occupation.
