Welcome to Piewy — a free educational resource built for Canadian Personal Support Worker (PSW) students who are preparing for their certification exam.
Why Piewy Exists
Studying to become a PSW is hard work. Between placements, classes, family, and life, finding clear and trustworthy study material can feel overwhelming. Many resources are scattered, confusing, or hidden behind paywalls.
Piewy was created to change that. We believe that every student deserves access to clear, simple, and supportive study guides — without paying a cent. Our goal is to make exam preparation feel less stressful and a lot more achievable.
Who Piewy Is For
Piewy is written for:
- Current PSW students enrolled in a program across Canada.
- Recent graduates getting ready for the final certification exam.
- Anyone who wants a clear, friendly refresher on core PSW topics.
What We Offer
Our growing library of free study guides covers all twelve core domains of PSW practice, including:
- Infection Control
- Safety
- Body Mechanics
- Nutrition & Hydration
- Cognitive Impairment & Mental Health
- Medication Assistance
- Personal Care & Hygiene

Every guide is written in plain language, broken into short sections, and finished with a Key Takeaways summary so you can review quickly before exam day.
Our Approach
We write the way a kind senior student would explain things to a junior — warm, patient, and practical. We focus on the concepts that matter most, use real-world examples, and keep things simple without leaving out what you need to know.

- Always simple — clear language anyone can follow.
- Always helpful — written to genuinely support your success.
