Program details
Overview
The AEC Automatisation et contrôle (ELJ.3J) is an Attestation d'études collégiales from Cégep André-Laurendeau's continuing education division, in the electronics and metallurgy field. Updated in 2026 to match current industrial labour-market needs, the programme runs 870 hours over about nine months, including a work placement, delivered in a hybrid format with most instruction in person. It trains students in industrial electrical engineering and electronics so they can provide technical support to industry professionals on control-command systems: installing and commissioning industrial equipment and systems, and troubleshooting and performing preventive maintenance on process-control and automation equipment. Coursework covers motor protection and control, programmable controllers (Automates I and II), industrial measurement, automation diagrams, motor drives, industrial regulation, robotics, industrial supervision, and troubleshooting techniques, along with a work placement. Graduates typically work as electronics or electrical engineering technologists or technicians, industrial maintenance technicians or technical representatives, in sectors such as pulp and paper, metallurgy, petrochemicals, water treatment, plastics and glass processing, food processing, and electricity production and distribution.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) or Diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP) or equivalent. A mandatory French test, taken remotely, is required unless the applicant studied in French in Quebec or France. A mandatory in-person electricity test, covering topics such as temperature conversion, electrical measurement instruments and basic electrical symbols, must be passed before the programme begins to confirm baseline knowledge of electricity.
