FAQ

Ⅰ. Can I learn without experience? What are the advantages?

Yes! You can learn! In the healthcare industry, becoming a medical assistant usually requires completing 6 to 8 months of post-secondary education at your own expense, which can be a financial burden for some people who aspire to work in the healthcare field. However, OMNI College offers a unique opportunity through the Health Career Access Program (HCAP), providing applicants with little or no experience in the healthcare field with a path to get hired and receive paid training while on the job.

Training advantages:

▸Government-funded education: The HCAP program is funded by the provincial government, which means that the cost of higher education for participants will be paid by the government, greatly reducing the financial burden on individuals.

▸Weekly allowance: In addition to education funding, trainees receive a weekly allowance during training to support their studies and life during training.

▸Paid training: HCAP new employees usually start as medical support staff and receive paid training, which not only allows them to gain practical experience, but also guarantees income during training.

▸Career development: Through HCAP, trainees can eventually become a fully qualified medical assistant, laying a solid foundation for career development.

▸Quick employment: After completing training, participants in the HCAP program can usually directly apply for medical assistant positions with employers who contact us and quickly find employment.
