– I live in the Ahuntsic district of Montreal. I saw that your Computing support DVS program is starting soon. The start date is really convenient for me and I am willing to travel  but since I’m not living in Laval, can I register as a student?

Yes.  In regards to Vocational training programs offered in Quebec, the adult may register in the training centre of his/her choice.

– What exactly is a Career Exploration Lab, I have never heard of one?

It is unique in our territory. We provide customized sessions with 16 interactive technical/vocational modules which cover over 46 different career paths. One of them may be just right for you!

One module includes a computer, activity binder and hands-on equipment. This is an interactive environment with non-traditional active learning opportunities for students who will be using the same software that professionals use in the field.

Individuals can book sessions in particular time blocks of two hours. We are open to discussing your needs so that we may customize our service offering to suit you.

– I browsed your web site. Quite a few options now appeal to me. Honestly, making the right decision for my future makes me feel a little bit insecure. Can I meet someone and discuss it one on one?

Absolutely!  That is one of the reasons the SARCA services were put in place. Consider this option as your gateway to Education. See you soon!
