58 Quebec CanadA LaSalle College Montréal ATTENDING A COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY IN QUEBEC The Province of Quebec has a unique educational system that differs from the rest of Canada. In the Quebec system, secondary school goes to Grade 11. Students can then choose from a variety of different post-secondary qualifications which will lead them directly into the work force, or into a University level program. Important Note: Before starting a post-secondary program, all students wishing to study in Quebec must take an entry English test. This test is mandated by the Quebec government, and does not affect a student s acceptance. Certifications in Quebec DCS/DEC of College Studies/ Diplôme d études collégiales A DCS/DEC is a degree issued by the Quebec Ministry of Education, Recreation and Sports after a student has successfully completed an approved college education program. There are two types of DCS/DEC s 1) Pre-university of College Studies: A two year program, roughly equivalent to Grade 12 + the first year of an associate s degree. Students wishing to go on to a university education should begin with a pre-university of College Studies. 2) Technical Training Programs: Three years in length for a total of six sessions, these programs allow students to directly access the work place. In some cases, students who complete a Technical Training Program may choose to pursue university level studies. ACS/AEC Attestation of College Studies / Attestation d études collégiales AEC programs are part of continuing education and are destined primarily for adults who wish to add value to their skill set or reorient their career. Based on DEC program curricula, AEC programs do not have general education courses like French, English or Philosophy. AEC s are generally more flexible than DEC or DEP programs. Often offered during the evening, flexible class times allow students to maintain their professional endeavors and study at the same time.

A DVS/DEP can lead into a Technical Training Program (DCS/DEC), but typically it is geared to get you straight into the workforce. Bachelor s Degree In Quebec, a Bachelor s Degree takes a minimum of 3 years to complete. Students must typically complete a pre-university of College Studies (DCS/DEC) before taking a bachelor s degree, or in some cases, may enter a bachelor s degree program after completing a Technical Training Program or DVS/DEP.
