Continuing education at a CEGEP: a world to discover
Every year more than 20,000 adults register in a continuing education program leading to a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) or an Attestation of Collegial Studies (AEC).
More and more adults are also taking courses, workshops or custom-designed corporate training programs (training certificate).
AEC programs are offered in all technical training sectors.
Training programs are developed based on job market requirements.
Business services offer a range of custom-designed training programs.
Certain training programs can be completed by correspondence or on-line.
Services for the recognition of acquired competencies (RAC) are accessible in each region. They allow you to evaluate your academic and professional background.
Training in francization for newcomers, supported by the Ministère de l’Immigration et des Communautés culturelles (MICC), is available in some twenty CEGEPs.
