Responsible Adult Course for Penticton Residents

If you're in Penticton and looking to work with children in a licensed BC child care setting, the Responsible Adult Course gives you everything you need — entirely online. There's no classroom to drive to and no fixed schedule to work around; you study from home, at your own pace, whenever it suits you.

We serve students across the South Okanagan, along with Summerland, Naramata, and Okanagan Falls, and anywhere else in British Columbia — since the course is fully online, your location never limits your access to training.

Why Penticton students choose Head Start Online School

Get funded through your local WorkBC Centre

If you're actively looking for work, you may be able to have the full cost of training covered through the Penticton WorkBC Centre or another WorkBC location serving the South Okanagan. Learn how WorkBC funding works and how to apply.

What you'll be qualified for

Once certified, you can work in school age group child care, occasional child care, and as a short-term substitute for ECE assistants in licensed facilities — anywhere in British Columbia, including throughout the South Okanagan.
