Offered in English at our Saint-Hubert campus and in French at our Trois-Rivières campus.
Our three different programs leading to an Attestation of College Studies (ACS) are authorized by the Quebec Ministry of Higher Education. For international students, our ACS programs are now the only pilot training programs that allow students to obtain a study permit in Canada, leading to eligibility for a post-graduation work permit.
