PCP Selection Process

Due to the high number of applications and limited seating for each program students are selected through a "seat competition" format. Students meeting the minimum requirements are asked to attend the selection interview processs where they are evaluated in a number of areas. The student must complete written examinations in areas of reading comprehension, mathematics and first aid procedures. The student then participates in a face to face interview with one of the school faculty. Each of these areas is awarded a point value (including resume) and seats are offered to the top students.

• Only 25 students per course are accepted; therefore, meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the program.
• A waiting list will be maintained, recognizing that some candidates may change plans, thus opening seats for other applicants.
• Short-listed applicants will be contacted and must be available to participate in a final selection interview.
• Interviews will be designed to meet individual schedule considerations.
