Vocational training in Quebec
Vocational training leads to a vocational studies diploma (DEP) and opens the doors to exciting jobs. These are short training courses lasting from 600 to 1800 hours which allow the acquisition of skills in demand on the job market.
In addition, each program allows students to complete an internship in a company that is a first experience working in the field of training.
Most courses start in August and January but it is possible to start at other times during the year.
