Edge Academy

” I attended Edge Academy for their PSW Program in 2020.  Although it has been 3 years since, I will never forget the amazing experience — the kindness of Pauline and Ed, and the beautiful people I got to meet and learn with.  Pauline created a welcoming and caring environment for the students, and we were all very willing and eager to help each other out when needed.  Pauline is one of the loveliest people I have ever met.  She is professional and excellent at teaching the theory and skills required to become a successful PSW.  During the time when Covid hit and we were all required to stay home, Pauline and Ed were incredible and quickly transitioned us from in-person to online learning.  The clinical placement was also a very valuable experience, and to be able to apply what we learned in class to actively providing care for people in a long term care home was wonderful and I was extremely thankful for all we learned from Pauline to prepare us.  I highly recommend Edge Academy.  Thanks again, Pauline and Ed, for a very memorable and positive learning experience. “

” EDGE Academy is one Academy l can recommend for anyone ,anytime over and over . I’m very proud to be a product of the Academy, privileged to pass through this great Academy in order to make my dreams come into reality. l don’t have a medical educational background and from Nigeria,West Africa ,the time difference was a bit challenging for me but special thanks to Pauline and Ed they made the journey to becoming a certified PSW smooth, easy and not cumbersome for me. I’m so impressed with their quick responses to e-mails . The teachings were so deep and detailed , visiting me during my placement made every bit of the journey worthwhile. Thank you Pauline, Ed and my classmates they all contributed to my accomplishment. “

” My experience at the Edge Academy was absolutely wonderful. I was so nervous about returning to school in my mid 40’s and Pauline and Ed were so supportive and encouraging. Pauline is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She teaches the material simply and makes sure you understand before moving forward. She is always available by phone or email if you ever feel stuck on something she is always there to help. Even after finishing the course I can still call her for a reference and for support in my new career as a PSW. Cassandra Chipperfield-Carby “

” I had a great time learning at Edge Academy. My Instructor was very thorough in her delivery of lectures, and she breaks it down so simply that it is hard not to understand. On the job, the things I was thought come flooding my mind and helps me give quality and safe service to those I serve. I am very grateful for this. I also particularly liked the way the staff were always available to their students, you will never feel alone, they always worked and walked with us. Learning here was quite a unique experience and I would recommend Edge Academy to anyone who wants a career as a Personal Support Worker. “

” I decided to go back to school at 52 years old. I have never felt so comfortable and encouraged as I did with Pauline (my teacher) She is a fantastic teacher and she and her husband Ed run an amazing school. If anyone of us had any questions… she was right there to help answer them at any given time. The PSW course at this school is fantastic and I recommend anyone looking to take it, to do it at Edge Academy. The smaller classes compared to a regular college make learning easier and definitely more personal. If I had to do it over I would come back to Edge Academy again! Thanks for making learning easier and all of the support given! “
