Are you a non-certified Health Care Aide seeking certification? NLC offers the Health Care Aide Employed Student Tutored Education Program (eSTEP). This program allows employed students to gain additional work experience in a clinical setting that may be eligible for practicum credits. Successful graduates earn a Government of Alberta Health Care Aide Certificate. There are two intakes per year, October and March. You can start the 1st day of October or March as long as you are registered by the 10th day of the previous month. You will continue to gain work experience in the clinical setting, and that experience may be eligible for practicum credits. You will have one year to complete the program. Upon completing the required six theory courses, learners are required to write a Health Care Aide Provincial Exam to obtain a Government of Alberta Health Care Aide Certificate.
