PCTs are normally certified nursing assistants (CNA). Look for a CNA course.

you can check with nursing homes in your area to see if they would enroll you in a CNA course in exchange for working for them. That's not uncommon, but you do have to commit to working for that facility for a period of time or pay whatever the fee would be to leave before the end of the commitment.

In my organization, PCT jobs include 'higher level' skills that are performed by CNAs. The PCT jobs are reserved for second year nursing students. They don't need any additional training to perform the job.

I'm jealous. Where I work, if someone is able to fill out the application, has a pulse and a clean criminal record, they're hired. I consider myself very fortunate if a new hire has ever worked as a PCT (no certification) and downright ecstatic if the new hire is a CNA!
