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.
