Ethan Bennett –
One thing I really appreciated about the course was its flexibility. The module-based format allowed me to tailor my learning to my schedule, which was particularly important because I was juggling between my shifts at work and my personal life. Each module took about 2 hours to complete, and I was able to break it up over several days, making it easy to learn at my own pace. This flexibility meant I could focus when I had the time, without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

Taking the IPAC Advanced Course from IPAC Consulting has been a truly eye-opening experience for me. It’s not only broadened my knowledge but has also deepened my understanding of infection prevention, particularly in the context of LTC homes. Before taking this course, I knew the basics of infection control, but I didn’t fully appreciate how complex it can be to manage infection risks in these environments.
I learned how to identify areas for improvement, ensure compliance with IPAC standards, and help create safer environments for residents, visitors, and coworkers. The course provided me with the knowledge and practical tools I need to make a meaningful difference.
Looking back on my experience, I’m so glad I took the IPAC Advanced Course! It not only expanded my knowledge of infection prevention but also transformed the way I think about infection control in LTC settings. I now have a much deeper appreciation for how comprehensive and multi-faceted infection prevention truly is.
For any healthcare professional or student interested in IPAC, I highly recommend the Advanced Course. It’s a fantastic way to gain a deeper understanding of infection prevention and ensure that the health and safety of everyone in long-term care environments is protected.
